Text 193: The Disaster of Pearl Harbor (5)

The two joint combat fleets arrived at the space jump point in the XY-242 domain, and on the other side of this space jump point is the Shangri-La system.

One after another lightning starfighters continued to catapult out of two space carriers, a fast battleship and five cruisers, into the dark space of space, the fighters under the command of several keyhole early warning and control aircraft, cautiously getting closer and closer, slowly converging into a six-wave group directly in front of the space jump point, each lightning fighter tail was equipped with a large strange device, the device has now been activated, flashing red and blue shimmers alternately, The heavy device made the pilots a little sluggish and clumsy in maneuvering and controlling the aircraft, and made it much more difficult to complete the dense formation that would have been easy to complete, but thanks to the rigorous training they had received before, they quickly completed the special formation formation without much time and without much trouble.

Dozens of other lightning fighters, covering a keyhole warning and control aircraft and four electronic storm jammers, swept around the six waves of aircraft in formation, and first arrived at the space jump point, these lightning bolts, unlike their companions, carried the strange and bulky device in the tail, and moreover, the bomb point under their belly did not carry any quantum torpedoes, direct-fire rockets or missiles, but instead a few cylindrical things temporarily hung on the belly bomb point.

All of these lightning fleets included five starfighter wings on two space carriers, one squadron on one fast battleship, and five squadrons on five cruisers. The total number of fighters has reached 262 fighters, which is the largest number of fighters in a single operation in the history of the Resistance Alliance, and even more than the number of fighters that can go out of the famous Seventh Fleet of the Alliance.

The foremost of these lightning bolts. The closest to the space jump point. It's a black ground lightning. The tulip on the nose and the logo on the tail indicate that it was the plane of Lieutenant Colonel Risson Nigaul, the captain of the Ninth Air Force.

"This is Tulip One, all the strike fighter units, report to me." Risen ordered, all fighters had left the mothership, and an attack was imminent.

His mood still couldn't be completely calm. The voice was still a little excited, although he had always had the habit of controlling his emotions and stabilizing his mood before the war, and he had always done a good job before, but today, it was very difficult to complete this simple habit, after all, this was the first time he had commanded such a large group of fighters, and even the former commander Colonel Alfred had never commanded such a large number of fighters, in a sense. In the Resistance League. He's the first, and he's proud of it.

"Tulip Two reports, the RED team is ready." Jessica reported.

Angel number one reports. The BLU team is ready. "This is Sonia, once Risen leads the avant-garde fleet to clear the Imperial fighters and unmanned monitors near the space jump point, her formation will be the first to leap into the Shangri-La system.

"Thunderbird One reports, the Green Team is ready......"

“....... The yellow team is ready. ”

“....... Team Orange is ready. ”

“....... Team Purple is ready. ”

....... One fighter unit after another kept reporting that it was ready, and Risen nodded with satisfaction, and he switched the communication to the fleet, "General, the Ninth Air Force is ready, please give the order." ”

"Let's begin, Lieutenant Colonel." General Kirk said with a serious face. "Good luck to all of us."

"Yes, General."

"Girls, boys," he said, turning the communications back to his own group of avant-garde fighters, which consisted mainly of squadrons of fighters on five cruisers and a keyhole, "I won't say any more nonsense, it was made clear enough at the pre-war ground flight briefing, in short, don't let anyone else wait too long for us." ”

"Understood, Tulip One."

"Okay, start your geospace jumping engine, follow me, and start space jumping."

One white flash after another continued to light up at the location of the space jump point, and each white light appeared, which meant that a small green dot was missing from the sensor screen, which meant that a lightning starfighter had joined the battlefield. When the shiny white flash ceases to appear for a while, stay in the XY-242 starfield > + starships.

They were waiting, waiting for the signal from the avant-garde group, and that was when they were actually on the battlefield.

The white light shining in front of him disappeared, and the black lightning fighter returned to normal space, and the iconic blue sun in the center of the Shangri-La galaxy appeared in front of his fighter in front of the left side, occupying nearly half of the position of the left cockpit canopy, and the soft blue light reflected in the cockpit, reminding him that he had come to another region in the universe that was completely different from the XY-242 domain, Risen held the right hand of the steering stick, and subconsciously moved slightly, and the fighter responded well, Immediately obediently following his movements and gently swaying, everything seemed normal.

The navigation computer quickly determined his current position, and Risen unconsciously looked in the direction of the Pearl Harbor base, the target of their operation, but he saw nothing, only a dark patch, which was too far away, and the huge base was still far from the human eye, well, there were a few faint starlights in that direction, but maybe they were from a star cluster or galaxy hundreds of millions of light-years away, or a star thousands of light-years away.

I don't know if any of them came from the Pearl Harbor base reflecting the light of the blue giant, he guessed wildly.

Behind him, one after another lightning fighters quickly appeared in the white flash, followed by these lightnings, and the last to jump out of the space jump point was a keyhole early warning and control aircraft personally commanded by Major Thule, as well as four electronic storm jammers.

"Report the neighborhood, Keyhole One." Risen said the range of the keyholer sensor is much stronger than his lightning.

"Unmanned monitors, number six, automatic turrets four, now the location and intelligence are completely consistent, it seems that the empire has not added new unmanned monitors or automatic turrets." Major Thule stared intently at the surveillance screen and said, "Four Banshee fighters on the Imperial reconnaissance patrol, two detachments, position 9-2-5, distance 37000, are on their way back to Pearl Harbor, position 4-7-6, 28000, .:<. run." ”

"The Black Knight squadron is responsible for shooting down these banshees, or driving them away, and the others immediately pack up the unmanned monitors and those automatic turrets." Risen felt a sigh of relief, their task seemed to have become easier, just pack up those unmanned monitors, and the follow-up fighter units could come over, the Imperial patrol fighters were still far away, and they were still speeding away, at that distance, their sensors could not see anything, and the Pearl Harbor base, although they had ultra-long-range sensors, could know their arrival, but they could not see it so clearly.

"Understood, sir." The fleet quickly dispersed and flew towards those targets that were pitifully numerous, with an average of five fighters per target, and those who arrived late could only watch these targets become the results of others.

Near the space jump point, several orange explosion fireballs kept appearing, and the energy released by these small explosions was insignificant compared to the huge energy of the blue giant star eruption in the Shangri-La Galaxy, but it was an out-and-out signal to the Resistance Alliance and the Empire.

"Keyhole One reports that the target has been cleared, with the radius of the space jump point, there are no unmanned monitors or Imperial fighters in the surrounding area, and the Black Knight squadron is trying to pursue the Imperial patrol fighters, but the enemy planes are already too far away."

"Got it, Keyhole One." Resson beckoned the others to come closer to him, and shouted, "Black Knight Squadron, stop the pursuit, and carry out a guard mission in the direction of the Pearl Harbor base to prevent any possible Imperial fighters from approaching." ”

"Understood, Tulip One." The squadron leader of the Black Knight squadron calmly replied, of course, a squadron of fighters could not compete with the Imperial fighters at the Pearl Harbor base, but he understood Risen and knew what the friendly forces were going to do next, so he didn't make a fuss, and it was still far from the large number of fighters in the Imperial base who took off urgently and arrived here, at this time, if there were those who ignored the advantages of the alliance fighters and were not afraid of death, they could only be sporadic patrol detachments, and one squadron was enough to deal with.

"Keyhole One, send a signal, notify the fleet."

His voice was calm and calm, as usual, some excitement and nervousness had disappeared at some point, and he felt that he had completely regained his usual calm and sanity. "Understood, Tulip One."
