The fleet is about to arrive at the space jump point.

All the preparations for the surprise attack were ready, the lightning starfighters participating in the attack were already in place, and the red and white navigation lights on the fighters flashed in the dark cosmic starry sky, like swarms of fireflies, decorating the cold and dark universe with extraordinary beauty. The 1st and 4th Starfighter Squadrons are at the forefront of the formation, as the leading group of the formation, behind them are the eight electronic wind ** dismutterers of the 9th Electronic Jamming Squadron, and then some are the main fighter groups and keyhole early warning control aircraft of the 4 squadrons, and the ten ships of the entire fleet follow behind these fighters, heading towards the jump point that is getting closer and closer.

"General, the fleet is ready and waiting for your orders." Captain Ralph looked at it, then reported.

"Squadron Leader of the 4th Squadron of the Pilot Team, Risson. Captain Nigaul repeatedly asked if the operation could begin. The Raider's captain, Colonel Raeder, also advised, "General, it's time to begin." ”

"The lead team was led by Rissen. Was Captain Nigaul in command? General Martin asked.

"Yes, the 1st and 4th squadrons will be under the command of the captain, they will be responsible for covering the electronic storm of the 9th Electronic Jamming Squadron to suppress the Empire, and once the jamming is successful, they will send a signal to notify the main group to start jumping, but after the main group of aircraft jumps arrives, they will start attacking those communication satellites as originally planned." Captain Raeder said simply.

The general smiled slightly, and when he heard that it was Risen who was in charge, his heart felt a lot more steady. He nodded, "Let them begin." ”

"Understood, General, inform the captain at once, they can start the operation......."

Rissen, who received the order to set off, took a deep breath and adjusted his mood to a calm state, excited, excited, and nervous..... These emotions often affect the correct judgment of the situation and hinder the improvement of combat efficiency.

"This is Tulip One, all units, the action begins, follow me, start your space jump engine, pay attention to maintain formation during the jump, and prepare for ...... Jump. ”

As bursts of flash fluctuations continued to emanate from the swirl-shaped, hazy energy cloud, the thirty-two lightning fighters and electronic wind ** spoilers of the pilot team quickly disappeared from the fleet's field of vision, and the entire fleet quietly stopped in front of the space jump point, they were waiting, waiting for a signal that the interference was successful. Otherwise, they will have to abandon the attack, which will deal a serious blow to the morale of the entire fleet.

The group quickly jumped out of hyperspace and returned to the normal starry sky, and as soon as Risen recovered from the dazzling white light, he noticed a small bright spot in front of the left side of the nose, although it was still far away, the computer system on board still recognized the type of target, which was an imperial unmanned monitor.

He didn't have time to think about it, his hand was already gently swinging the joystick, and the muzzle of the lightning fighter's cannon quickly aimed at the unmanned monitor, and after several red energy beams fired from the pulse laser cannon, the unmanned monitor immediately turned into a yellow fireball.

In Risson's opinion, this was just a small test launch, although the target was far away and small in size, it was just a non-moving unmanned monitor, there was nothing to say, and he didn't pay attention to it at all. But he didn't realize that his shot had greatly affected the other pilots who were following him, and at such a distance, the target was almost the size of a pin's tip to the naked eye, and even if the computer could successfully lock on and mark the target, it would not be easy to accurately aim and fire a beam to hit the immobile target. Shooting at this kind of small target at this distance is mostly unlikely to hit, so it is also named --- scarecrow attack, which means that in addition to scaring and deterring the other party, it will not pose any substantial threat at all, even if one or two beams of light hit by chance, it is just a coincidence, and its biggest role is to force the opponent to panic, lose breath and make mistakes.

And their squadron leader, not only completed the whole process of finding the target, aiming, and attacking in a very short time, but also successfully destroyed the target, how did he do it? You must know that at such a long distance, it can be said that it is accidental to be able to hit one shot, but the unmanned monitor will not only hit one beam and explode, it must be hit by multiple beams to explode, and their squadron leader only fired a total of how many energy beams? With a hit rate of more than 50 percent at this distance, it's no wonder that he can become a hero in Operation Firefox, and it's no wonder that his knockdown record is amazing......

All the pilots, both novices and veterans, looked at the black lightning with reverence and awe, and in their hearts, they could not do this, and this casual action of their new squadron leader proved his strength, although it was not yet seen whether his piloting skills were as superb as his shooting skills, but with this hand alone, the new squadron leader had earned their respect.

"Didi", two more small white bright spots appeared on Ryson's lightning fighter, the Empire did not just deploy an unmanned monitor near this space jump point, these monitors had to be destroyed, although Ryson knew that they must have been discovered.

He turned on the communication and began to call the jammer, "Tulip One called Prowler One, and immediately began to interfere with and suppress the Empire's communications, and we have been discovered. ”

"It's in progress, Tulip One, please wait."

Risen switched the communication to Squadron 1, and he arranged for them to stay near the electronic air sprammers to escort them, and then he turned his attention to the two unmanned monitors. Under his arrangement, Tulip 5 and Tulip 9 each led their own teams to destroy the two remaining monitors.

Eager to see if they had the strength, the pilots began to imitate their new squadron leader, but they soon felt a little frustrated and disappointed, although they thought they had aimed at the target, but when they actually attacked, they found that it was not like that, the energy beams launched at long distances basically missed, and they fired multiple beams in a row but still failed to destroy the unmanned monitors, at most, there was only an occasional beam hit, and they finally clearly realized what was missing, a thousand miles away.

By the time the somewhat annoyed pilots finally destroyed the two unmanned monitors that had caused them to lose face, the jamming results had already come out, and Risen had received communications from Prowler One.

"How? Did it work? He asked eagerly.

"No problem, the Holland station is about to issue an attack warning, but we have taken the lead and succeeded in disrupting the communications that suppressed the Empire, and now the station is trying to break through our interference, you must destroy those satellites as soon as possible." A captain reported the good news to Riseen.

"Yes, immediately send a signal to inform the fleet, the Prowler squadron continues to stay where it is and waits to join the fleet, and the others will come with me." Risen glanced at the sensor screen of the lightning fighter, there was no unmanned monitor nearby, but in the far range of the sensor's detection range, one after another small red dots began to appear again, among them were both banshee fighters and short sword attack aircraft, obviously, after the empire found out that the communication was disturbed, they began to send fighters here, as for the ships, Risen could not be sure if they were following these enemy planes. However, there is absolutely no doubt that enemy fighters and attack aircraft should not be allowed to get close to jammers.

"Understood, Tulip One."

As soon as they flew away from the 9th Electronic Wind ** Disturbance Squadron, one after another flashes continued to shine behind them, along with these flashes, a large number of lightning starfighters jumped into the XY-193 star field in time, and then the lightning fighters entered the keyhole warning and control aircraft, the group quickly unfolded, activated the afterburner, and followed behind the 1st and 4th squadrons, facing the sparse dozens of Imperial Banshee fighters flying in.

Risen quietly breathed a sigh of relief, everything was going according to the original plan, and now these Imperial Banshees had not been able to detect the arrival of a large number of lightning fighters due to the lack of detection distance of the sensors, and by the time they discovered the true strength of the Alliance, it was too late.

Just then, he received a communication from the keyhole.

"This is Keyhole One, call Tulip One." An officer's head appears on the screen of the Lightning.

"It's me, I'm glad you arrived in time."

"Tulip One, please be careful, do not engage with the enemy Banshee fighters, your target is those communication satellites, we have notified the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th squadrons to accelerate over you, they will first exchange fire with the enemy fighters and attack aircraft, and do their best to cover your breakthrough through the Empire's fighter defenses."

"Understood, Keyhole One." Risen nodded.

He appropriately led the 1st and 4th squadrons to slow down and separate to the left and right, respectively, and the four fighter squadrons that had caught up from behind them quickly overtook them, continued to accelerate forward, and soon entered the detection range of the Banshee fighters, and the groups of both sides got closer and closer, and a fierce air battle was about to be opened......

Who wins and who loses is not what Rison cares about. Does this need to be said? Lightning and Banshee are not fighters of the same grade, and Lightning is also strongly supported by keyhole warning and control aircraft and electronic wind ** jammers, and the victory or defeat of this battle has long been decided.

"Listen, guys, this battle doesn't have to worry about us, the pilots of the other squadrons will do their job. Remember to keep up with me, as soon as the battle begins, we will turn on the afterburner and break through quickly at maximum speed, through the battlefield, I know that many of you are looking forward to the air battle with the Imperial fighters, but unless we destroy all the communication satellites, we will not get involved in the battle with the Imperial fighters. Risen admonished.

"Understood, Tulip One."
