148 Old Land Revisited (8)
Risen hurriedly put on his combat helmet as he ran, and with the help of Roy, the leader of the ground crew, he climbed into the cockpit of his black lightning fighter after a few pedals, and began to work on the final preparations before takeoff, Roy had already helped him do most of the preparations for takeoff, and the fighter was also towed to the third launch channel, but some work still had to be done by himself.
He was a little glad, glad that his fighter was not in the port hangar, the hangar on the port side was seriously damaged under the attack of the quantum torpedo, the first and second launch channels were all unusable, several spare lightning fighters became fragmented in the powerful explosion, and it was basically impossible to repair it in the short term, but fortunately, the port side hangar was basically empty, and he had ordered all the covering troops to take off, and those fighters and the pilots on standby in the cockpit escaped by chance, He was not killed on the spot in the sudden explosion.
Risen felt a little scared that if they didn't take off in time, Sonia, Annie, and Iasilia, who were waiting in the cockpits of the fighters in the port hangar, were waiting to take off...... How many people can survive such an attack, not to mention the girls of the Blue Angels who excel in air combat, but before they take off, they are no different from ordinary people, and even more vulnerable and vulnerable than the male soldiers.
The cockpit canopy was slowly closed, and all the personnel had evacuated the launch channel, and Risen gave a thumbs up and made a gesture to indicate that all preparations for takeoff had been completed.
He pushed the thrust lever, and the powerful thrust of the four ion engines in the tail of the fighter plane caused the fighter to accelerate rapidly from a standstill to high speed. The metal bulkhead of the launch tunnel quickly retreated at a speed barely visible to the naked eye, and the black lightning fighter quickly merged with the dark space.
As soon as he burst out of the mothership, Risen focused his attention on the sensor screen, due to the heroic interception of the Alliance pilots of the Resistance, most of the Imperial Banshee fighters and Gladiator attack aircraft failed to break through the interception of the Lightning fighters, at least the Imperial pilots of the Gladius attack aircraft did not get a good chance to launch their quantum torpedoes, but this is not absolute. As more and more Imperial fighters join the battlefield. There are already a few fish that have broken through the line of defense and are rapidly approaching the damaged Liberator, and if the quantum torpedo can be fired at a relatively close distance, there will be less time for the Liberator's close defense system to react.
He piloted his lightning into the interception course as he called in other lightning fighters for support.
"This is the captain of the RED team, I am entering the battlefield, and several Imperial fighters have broken through the interception and approached the Liberator, and I immediately went to intercept it. Anyone, who can spare their hands. Please support us immediately......"
"Rissen. It's you? How did you get out, the Liberator? Sonia's avatar immediately appeared on his cockpit screen.
"The Liberator is under the command of Fei Ren, who is now the acting captain of the Liberator, and she has experience as a captain. Better suited than me to be the captain of a ship, especially at this critical moment. Risen explained. He believed that the girl could handle a series of chores on the ship better than he did, and that was not the case himself, at least not yet.
"Oh, I see." Sonia. Yang nodded, in this regard, she can better understand why Risen did this, "But we ourselves are now lacking in skills, Rise, we can only rely on yourself, we will try our best to entangle other Imperial fighters, but we are not enough, there will definitely be more Imperial fighters that will be leaked later, be careful." ”
"I know." Risen was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, he understood the vague meaning of Sonia's words, although all his fighters had been dispatched, but as the battle progressed, as more and more Imperial fighters joined the battlefield, with the continuous loss of his own fighters, the situation would only get worse, although the quality of the lightning was better than any of the Empire's fighters, but the number of enemy planes was more than three times that of his own, this numerical advantage was enough to offset the quality advantage, and there was something to say about the support of the defenders, not to mention that the Liberator had been damaged, Now the reason why they can effectively intercept the Imperial fighters is due to Sonia's overall overall command, and on the other hand, they rely on the Blue Angels' skilled pilots to support the situation, but this is only temporary, the more they continue to fight, the disadvantage is definitely their own side.
But he actually didn't have any better way, he vaguely felt that it was too late to retreat now, the Imperial fleet was too close, the speed of the Imperial fighters was many times faster than the battleship, they wouldn't let the Liberator withdraw so easily, before this battleship could be safely evacuated, the Imperial Army must have already achieved their goal.
He gritted his teeth, even if the hope was slim, he would try, he would do his best to cover the Liberator's withdrawal, as for the result, let it be fate.
His eyes were locked on the few Imperial fighters that had broken through the interception, no matter what, no matter what happened in the future, he still had to do what he had to do now.
"Hey, looks like someone needs help, do you mind if I'll try my training results these days?" As a voice reached the cockpit, a Lightning fighter was ejecting away from the Liberator, speeding towards Risen in the lightning-fast pursuit.
"Hua Yunlong? Great, I need you here, and it's just a good time, but why are you here? Risen was overjoyed.
"It's hard life, I was supposed to stay in the ship to direct the damage management and emergency repair work, but I didn't expect to be brought out by an order from our acting captain, hahahaha...... I got dirty and came out without a shower. Someone deliberately pretended to be angry and complained.
"After this battle, I'll let Fei Lun give you a vacation and let you have a good time."
"It's okay, it's good if she doesn't find me a lot of trouble, but that's already in the future, let's deal with these Imperial fighters first, man, to be honest, I'm not too familiar with this machine, you look at my rear more."
"No problem, I'll cover for you, follow me, let's get on."
On the bridge of the Liberator.
Yao frowned, in the short time before, through the successive reports of various departments on the ship, she already had a considerable understanding of the damage of the Liberator, and what made her relieved was that the damage to the mothership was not as serious as she imagined before: when the quantum torpedo attacked, because the whole ship had entered the yellow alert, the fire doors and airtight compartments related to the important compartments of each section had been basically closed, the shield system was in 100% optimal condition, and the close defense system could be activated at any time, so, The Liberator was able to quickly activate the defense system when it was attacked suddenly, destroying quite a lot of incoming quantum torpedoes, and the shield system in the best state blocked part of the attack, and finally directly hit the port side of the hull only a quarter of the incoming torpedoes - three quantum torpedoes, and the explosion of the previously destroyed quantum torpedoes affected the attack path of these torpedoes, so that they could not focus on a certain key position on the mothership according to the program.
The scattered attack also dispersed the power of the attack and the damage caused to the hull, coupled with the Liberator's emergency maneuver at the last moment, in the end, three torpedoes were scattered at various different points, and two mines were hit in the front part of the port side, destroying the left hangar and two take-off passages, and also destroyed several spare lightning planes in the hangar, with more than 100 casualties, and one torpedo directly hit the middle of the hull, close to the bridge, fortunately it was not a direct hit on the bridge, otherwise the people inside, including herself, None of them survived.
However, it is still far from the time to celebrate, although the fire and damage have been controlled, in addition to the port side shield system and the port side of the close defense system are basically reimbursed, other systems on the ship, such as reactors, ion engines, communications, navigation systems, etc., are basically normal, but this does not mean that the crisis of the Liberator has been lifted, Yao is also a starfighter pilot, just look at the sensor, she understands that the current situation is really not optimistic, more and more imperial fighters are joining the battlefield, It only takes a few short swords to break through the interception and concentrate on the port side, which has basically lost its defensive ability, as long as it hits one or two more quantum torpedoes or hits a few more powerful energy beams, then the Liberator will really die.
It doesn't have much effect to turn around and retreat, with the speed of an interstellar fighter, it is easy to catch up with this mothership, even if she has a reputation for being fast, but it is compared to a ship, compared to a fighter, no matter how fast a ship is, it can only be regarded as turtle speed.
Since there is no way to withdraw, what about moving forward? There is a space jump point not far ahead, maybe you can use this space jump point to get rid of the enemy's attack, but this determination is not so easy to make, all the way to rush over is not only to fall directly into the direct fire of the Imperial cruisers, destroyers and fighters, but the heavily damaged port side can still withstand the enemy's attack? And they didn't know what star field this space jump point would jump to, and what was waiting for her there.
Which is riskier? The one who took the risk might have gotten better results? ....... she fell into deep thought.
"Helmsman, the bow of the ship is six degrees lower, heading 325, full speed ahead." She finally made a decision, she didn't have that much time to think carefully, time didn't allow it, what was needed now was action, and the more it dragged on, the worse it would be.
"You're crazy, this is a direct rush to the Imperial fleet, this is suicide." Captain Chris, the former lieutenant of Captain Aristide who had come to assist her, was stunned by the decision.
"Yes, but whether it's suicide or not, we'll wait and see." The girl's eyes kept staring at the battle situation map displayed on the big screen, and she replied quietly.
