Text One Hundred and Thirteen, The Super Banshee of the Empire (2)

"Retreat, all retreat, the Imperial Army is found near Planet Seven, an escort destroyer, a Sabre-class cruiser, and several new Imperial Super Banshee fighters...... Repeat, there is the activity of the national army near the seventh star, Alliance One, immediately withdraw to the jump point, and we are responsible for cover. He called out urgently as he pulled the fighter up at great speed, preparing to dodge the two image-recognition missiles that were coming at him.

Although a cruiser and a destroyer are nothing, even with those new Super Banshee fighters, Risen is not to be afraid, but he is not worried about this, he is worried about whether there are still undiscovered Imperial troops nearby, he wonders why the Imperial Army appeared in this place so coincidentally? What does this mean? Did the Imperial Army already know about this meeting with the Lombards, and he even had some doubts about his previous conclusions about the Lombards, well, did the Lombards betray them, or how to explain that they did not see the Lombard ships near the seventh planet, but the Imperial ships?

But there are some problems with the betrayal, just as he thought before, if the Empire knew about this meeting from the Lombardians or other means in advance, then there would be no need to pursue in the XY-245 star field, it is most convenient to set up an ambush here, and besides, this miniature Imperial fleet only has two ships, and it may not be able to deal with the Alliance One, they can easily send twenty ships and a large number of banshees, right? Also, Why did you send a Super Banshee? As far as Reson knows, this new Imperial fighter is still in the testing stage, is it necessary to risk these valuable experimental models in real combat? There are some things that don't make sense.

………

On the Alliance One, the sirens sounded, the alert level had changed from yellow to red, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire ship.

"One hundred and eighty degrees emergency U-turn. Let's get out of here and get the energy pulse torpedo ready. Upon hearing Ryson's emergency call, Captain Dirk reacted quickly, "Notify the other Lightning fighters to take off urgently and assist the captain in covering the Confederate One." ”

He turned his head after giving the order and said apologetically to Mrs. Almeda, who was sitting in the back, "I'm sorry, ma'am. It seems that there will be no more talks today. ”

With a slight trace of worry on her face, the noble lady finally couldn't help but ask, "Are these Imperial troops coming for us?" Did the Lombards buy us? ”

"We don't know yet," the captain said hesitantly. "But I doubt this possibility, if you want to ambush, you won't just send two ships, and what about the previous pursuit in the XY-245 star field? Can the Imperial Army be so stupid? ”

"But at this time, your safety is the most important thing, we can't take any more risks like last time, no matter what, the appearance of the Imperial Army near the seventh star is an indisputable fact, and the Alliance One must be ready in the car." He added.

"Have you found any other Imperial warships or warplanes? Did the Imperial Army come after us? She asked.

"No," Captain Decco shook his head, "Except for the Captain on the back of Planet Seven, the Captain reported the enemy, no other Imperial troops have been found for the time being, and the ship's sensors have not found any signs of these two Imperial ships leaving the back side of the planet and moving in the direction of ours." ”

"Perhaps......" Lady Elmeda did not seem to hear him, she bowed her head for a moment, then raised her head and said firmly. Captain, drive the Alliance One to a safe distance from the space jump point and stand by, but don't evacuate for now, and always ask Captain Nigaul about the enemy's movements, and we'll observe again. ”

"Yes, ma'am." Captain Dirk replied respectfully.

"What about our fighters?"

"An emergency dispatch is underway to support the reconnaissance team, and they will be there in ten minutes at most."

………

Ten minutes, Risen thought it was too bad, as they were in the middle of a bitter battle with the new Super Banshee fighters. Ten minutes, who knows what will happen? In fact, he and Jessica are already good, at least they can cooperate to cover each other, and even launch counterattacks, even if they are two against four.

The most dangerous was on Schnell's side, he and his wingman were attacked by four other super-banshees almost at the same time, his friend was even more affected than him, because it was a sudden attack, his wingman was shot down every minute, hearing the young pilot screaming in despair to eject, eject, he couldn't help but be deeply anxious about the fate of his friend, with one against four, no one to cover, even him, would fight extremely hard.

"Retreat, retreat, Schneier, leave the battlefield at once and return to Alliance One." He yelled at the communication, and at the same time aimed at the enemy plane in front of him pulled the trigger, but it didn't hit, the super banshee rolled to the left nimbly, and immediately dodged the beam it fired, he wanted to continue to bite it, but the energy beam fired by another enemy plane rushing from the side kept flying above the front of his fighter, and he reluctantly lowered the nose of the plane, avoiding the edge of the enemy plane first.

"I'd like to retreat too, but these damn bastards are in hot pursuit." His friend glanced behind him in alarm, and the four enemy planes seemed to have decided that he was already on their plate, and they methodically divided into two squads, taking turns to flank him from the left and right, and the energy beams were closer to his lightning fighters one by one.

He could hear the panic in his friend's voice, and Risen felt a chill in his heart, and he remembered that they had been ambushed by the Blue Angels, and that was when he was helpless to watch his friend shot down by Sonia, and now, he was also too far to help his friend, and he was already a little too busy to take care of himself.

These guys who piloted the Empire's new fighters were definitely veterans and elites, they were skilled, coordinated, and had excellent shooting skills, especially the one he was chasing before. He looked at the enemy plane that he was chasing before, and after the enemy plane shook off his pursuit with the help of his wingman, he immediately turned to attack, and he quickly completed the direction adjustment of the fighter plane with a beautiful axis roll, and rushed diagonally towards the opposite of Ruisen with a complex spiral flight. Several of the energy beams fired by the Super Banshee hit the left wing of the lightning impartially, stirring up white flashes of light, reminding Ressen that he had been hit.

In such a complex spiral flight, the numerous energy beams fired by the cannon of the violently maneuvering fighter can still accurately hit a single point, which requires very superb shooting skills and precise timing, and Risen couldn't help but be surprised, he estimated that he could do it, but Jessica couldn't do it. Even Schnell is probably enough to choke.

What does this mean? Schneier can also be regarded as a trump card, and the Imperial pilots who are at the same level as him or even slightly exceed them, they have not encountered many before (Risen doesn't know that there are quite a few similar elite pilots in the Fifth Fleet of the Empire that he eliminated.) It's a pity that they died too unjustly, otherwise, it would be enough for the alliance to drink a pot, and the skills honed by these people in the front line of the confrontation with the Federation are not vase decorations), and, if only one is like this, then it's okay to say, but looking at the level of other people, it is basically about the same, even if there is a gap, it is only a line difference.

"Captain, I can't get rid of him." Jessica also began to panic, and the enemy plane was like her shadow.

"Steady, I'm right in front of you." Risen didn't care about the other enemy planes, he knew that protecting Jessica now was protecting himself. He swayed the lightning from side to side, dodging a few beams flying from the side and behind, and then caught up with Jessica, and in an instant when the two levels were staggered, several red and blue ion beams directly hit the enemy plane that was following Jessica, and the enemy plane rolled rapidly. Lunging downward, dodging his other attacks and sparing Jessica's pursuit.

"Thank you, Captain." The girl breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, you don't." Risen glanced at the tip of his eyes, "Be careful, another enemy plane appears in your direction at four o'clock." But at the same time, another enemy aircraft appeared to the left of his fighter......

"Son of a bitch, my shield is almost finished, I'm going to die now, Resson, Ressen...... What are we going to do? You should pay attention. Schneier exclaimed angrily in the communication.

This can't be done, Resson shook his head slightly, the form is not good for them, although the performance of the lightning fighter is still better than that of the Super Banshee, and the shield strength is also greater, but this is not enough to offset the enemy's surprise attack, elite pilots, and the combined advantage of fighting more and less, and when the other fighters arrive, he may still be able to survive, but Jessica and Schneier will be in trouble.

Now it is necessary to delay, until other fighters arrive, and then the situation will begin to improve.

"Enter the aura of the seventh planet, and try to drag other fighters to come to support." He calmly ordered, this is the only feasible way, he has no vanity or face, since he can't beat it, just run. The aura of the seventh planet composed of gravel, ice crystals, and interstellar dust, although the thickness is not large, but the width of the aura is enough to play hide and seek, and the pilots of the alliance have a major advantage over the pilots of the empire, that is, the flight technology is better under complex star conditions, especially when flying in the middle of the gravel belt and nebula, which is also related to the fact that the alliance has been weak for a long time, often relying on the gravel belt, nebula and its interstellar dust to hide, and the pilots have been flying in these environments for a long time, Naturally, they were able to hone their skills in this area, and in that dangerous nebula with a large number of explosive gases, the Alliance pilots had performed better than the Imperial pilots.

"What kind of idea is this, I'm in the halo now, and the enemy planes are still chasing very closely." Schnell's voice was about to cry.

Risen snorted, "It's good that you knew to hide in the halo, otherwise you would have been shot down, listen to me, Schneier, remember when we launched a quantum torpedo to attack XXS-761C, and found that we didn't have enough time to return to Alliance One?" How did we fly back then? Fly like that again, the Super Banshees aren't as good as Lightning, and you can get rid of them. ”

"You're crazy, that's no different from looking for death, I said I would never fly death again." Thinking of that thrilling flight, Schneier's cold sweat immediately trickled down.

"Then you just wait to be shot down, it's up to you."

"Don't interfere with my attention, don't contact me, I'll contact you after I dump them." His friend angrily turned off the communication.

"Jessica, you go in first, I'll cover you."

"Understood, Captain."
