"Pull up." Risen said calmly in the comm that he was informing the fighter jets behind him of his next move, giving them time and mental time to react.

He gently withdrew the into his arms, and the nose of the Lightning's fighter was slightly raised, diagonally through the gap between several clouds of pale blue gas, and the other fighters behind him followed his course, one after the other, and the pilots were so engrossed that they did not dare to be distracted for a moment, and they tried to do their best and deviate as little as possible, because they knew that by their side, and at their close range, was death.

The Imperial Banshee fighters behind are still not giving up, they are still following closely, the speed of the Banshee is not as good as lightning, the reason why these Imperial fighters can still keep up is because Risen does not dare to raise the speed of lightning to the maximum, flying in such a dangerous and unfamiliar place, he has to leave himself more margin, give himself more time to react, who knows what dangers are still inside this nebula?

However, it was no longer the four Banshees who were chasing, only three were left behind them, and one Banshee fighter made a slightly larger move when it crossed a dangerous swarm of explosive gases, crashing headlong into the center of the swarm, causing a chain reaction, and the flesh and blood of the Imperial pilot, along with the fighter plane, were reduced to hundreds of millions of tiny fragments, and no bones remained.

But apparently, the pilots of the other three Imperial fighters were still not intimidated by this small loss, Risen glanced at the three red dots that were still following behind, it was clear that the skills of these three Imperial pilots were not bad until now, Ryson knew very well that these maneuvering flights at the current level were not enough to get rid of those annoying tracking fighters, and if he expected them to make mistakes, he would have to perform some more complicated, bolder, and more dangerous aerobatics.

However, he knew better that doing so was also a double-edged sword, and it was very likely to hurt his own people, especially the lightning fighters under his command who were slightly injured in tail and whose flight attitude was affected, and they might not be able to keep up with the movement and make mistakes, and be buried in this nebula forever like the previous Imperial pilot.

Through the transparent cockpit canopy in front of him, he noticed a large, complex area of light blue explosive gases mixed with other colors and bands of gases. In addition to these, the lightning fighter's sensors also detected that there were many meteorites distributed there, and perhaps quite a bit of interstellar dust, Risen thought in his heart, this area is a very ideal ambush area, since they can't get rid of the trailing enemy planes by maneuvering, perhaps, they should be more proactive. Give the Empire a head-on blow.

He turned on the comm and started calling.

"Thunderbird One, you're here to be my wingman, and we're going to give those banshees a little bit of a try. Tulip 2, after entering the star field ahead, Thunderbird 1 and I will break away from the formation and try to find a meteorite to hide, and the formation will be led by you. Lead everyone through carefully. ”

"Haha, man, it's been a year, and we're finally fighting together again." His friend was simply very pleased with Ryson's order.

"I ...... I...... Captain, let me lead the flight? And Jessica, the girl repeated Risson's command with some trepidation, and her voice sounded visibly lacking confidence.

"Don't worry, Jessica, you can do it, just like you would with normal flight training. But remember, concentrate your entire energy, and if necessary, slow down the plane, no more than a few minutes at most, and we'll catch up soon after we've dealt with the tracking banshee. Risen comforted his wingman.

"But, captain, let Thunderbird One lead the flight, and I'll cover you." The girl said hesitantly.

"No, we won't be delaying here for too long, so we need to end the battle as soon as possible, Jessica, listen, you guys fly well in front, act as bait, attract the attention of enemy aircraft, and we can complete the mission by surprise. Now, obey orders. ”

"Yes, Captain." Despite Jessica's reluctance, she eventually complied.

Risson shook his head slightly, he didn't tell the truth, it's not that he doesn't trust Jessica, it's just, to be honest, fighting in this treacherous environment, not only to be careful not to hit those explosive gas swarms and meteorites, but also to keep an eye on the enemy plane and manipulate the fighter plane to carry out a deadly attack, it is a very difficult and complicated job, even Ryson himself, he has never tried such a battle before, and Jessica, it is even more difficult to say.

It is impossible and unnecessary to leave a few more fighters to participate in the ambush, this is not suitable for large aircraft groups at all, numerous meteorites and explosive gas groups limit the space for maneuvering, the number of enemy planes is only a few, more fighters are useless, two or three are enough, and if there are too many fighters out of the formation, it is easy for the Imperial fighters tracking in the rear to detect the reduction in the number of formations.

After careful consideration, Risen finally decided to let Schneier stay with him, because the two of them had the best skills among the pilots, and on the other hand, he and Schneier's former long-time partners knew each other quite well. Is there anything more suitable than in this kind of rapid ambush combat that requires skillful and tacit cooperation and the swift resolution of enemy aircraft?

————————————————————————————————————

Fourteen Lightning fighters crashed headlong into this complex area.

Risen was still at the front of the formation, and he maneuvered his Lightning fighter to carefully avoid a few clouds of pale blue gas, and then he saw the meteorite marked on the sensor display screen at the front of the formation.

"Schneier, get ready, we're going to break away, enter the back of the meteorite and immediately reverse with all our might, turn around one hundred and eighty degrees and slow down, you haven't forgotten the axis roll maneuver." His breath became short.

"No, it's not a problem for me now, I've been practicing it for a long time. I'm not going to let you be beautiful about it. His friend said proudly.

"Well, you'd better be right, or you're going to be out of luck today." Resson grunted, glancing ahead and choosing his target. "Jessica, do you see the biggest meteorite in front of you? We're at the back of that fortune, and you lead the others onwards to attract the attention of enemy planes. ”

"Yes, Tulip One."

The largest meteorite that Risen had chosen was just in front of them, and there was a dangerous swarm of pale blue gas to the left of the meteorite, so he chose to cross through the right side of the meteorite. After his Lightning Fighter crossed the meteorite, Risen did not resume course and continue forward, but quickly turned his Lightning Fighter sharply to the left and quietly ducked behind the meteorite. His friend Schnell did the same, following him behind the meteorite.

As soon as they entered the rear of the meteorite, the two of them immediately slowed down with all their might, and using their skillful piloting skills, the nose of the fighter plane completed a 180-degree rotation around the axis while the direction of the fighter remained unchanged, and the nose of the Lightning fighter was backward, and the engine nozzle in the tail was exactly the opposite direction of flight. Under the strong reverse thrust of the four ion engines, the fighter quickly slowed down......

Risson's heart tensed, although the lightning fighter slowed down quickly, but it was not fast enough, the two fighters still continued to slowly approach the pale blue explosive gas group, his eyes watched the rapidly shortening distance between the fighter plane and the gas group, although he had already estimated that they could completely stop within this distance. However, theoretical estimates and practice often do not fully coincide.

Eventually, what he feared didn't happen, and the Lightnings finally came to a halt very close to the pale blue gas swarm on the left. The two men immediately turned off the thrust of the ion engine, and the fighter slowly left the gas cluster and entered the center behind the meteorite, quietly waiting for the banshees to follow behind.

"It's so dangerous, I almost couldn't stop, I thought we were going to hit it directly." There was still a slight hint of nervousness in Schneier's voice.

"yes, but it's fine. Keep your place, and our Imperial Friends are coming. Risen also breathed a sigh of relief, a layer of sweat had unconsciously secreted from his forehead, it was really dangerous just now, if their movements were not resolute and thorough, and their skills were not skilled and in place, they would not be able to stop the fighter plane that was still flying at high speed at this short distance, and they would rush headlong into that gas cluster and turn into a big fireball.

This is also an important reason why he didn't dare to let Jessica follow, her skills may be enough, but her confidence and determination are not as tenacious and resolute as the battle-hardened old birds like Ruisson and Schneier, which can be detected from her panic when Ressen asked her to be the flight leader, if she has the slightest hesitation when making movements, then, she can't stop the fighter at such a short distance, she will die with this light blue gas, and these qualities can not be achieved in a short time.

"As a captain, at such a short distance, he was able to make a 180-degree U-turn and turn ......," exclaimed a concerned young pilot.

"Keep an eye ahead, don't speak, have you forgotten the captain's explanation?" Jessica didn't even pay attention to who was speaking, her eyes fixed on the straight ahead.

The girl had a good grasp of Resson's intentions, and she took the remaining twelve lightning formations to continue to dodge and snake forward between the meteorite swarm and the pale blue explosive gas swarm.

In the rear, the tracking Imperial Banshees did not notice the two missing fighters in the formation, most of their attention was focused on the dangerous flight, while the other part of their attention was attracted by the lightning swarms that appeared and disappeared in the meteorite swarms and explosive gas swarms, which also blinded their vision and sensors, so that even if they noticed the two fighters missing from the formation, they would only mistakenly think that they were just temporarily obscured by meteorites and gas swarms.

The three banshees approached the meteorite where Risen and Schneier were hiding without noticing.
