Text 215, front and back

When the first lightning left the launch channel of the Archangel, all the 106 lightning fighters of the mobile fleet took off in 20 minutes, and among these lightnings, 42 lightning bolts carried quantum torpedoes, which were sharp weapons for attacking ships, including Ryson's lightning. At the same time, the Ninth Fleet also took off seventy-three Lightnings, thirty-six of which carried quantum torpedoes.

Quantum torpedoes are mainly used against fast battleships of the Empire, and the synchronous particle cannon carried by the lightning itself is enough to deal with destroyers and even cruisers, but it is not impossible to deal with fast battleships or space carriers with thick shields and armor, but it is still more effective to attack quantum torpedoes, which are much more powerful.

The position of the Imperial fleet was really terrible, which is why everyone in the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet was overjoyed when they heard that the Ninth Fleet had appeared from the JP1 space jump point: not only had the attack force of the other side been significantly strengthened, but also that the JP1 space jump point was > the JP2 space jump pointThe front position forms an acute triangle, and the Imperial Fleet, which enters from the jump point between JP2, is in a dilemma of being caught between the front and rear of the Ninth Fleet and the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet in the process of approaching the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet.

"Captain, the attack formation has left. Contact with the enemy fleet is expected after one hour and fifteen minutes. Lieutenant Edita reported.

"Hmm." The girl replied nonchalantly, her gaze still resting on the porthole, in the direction of the departure of the large group, though there was nothing to be seen there now, only darkness and silence.

Somehow, her mind was a little confused, restless, and even a little flustered and scared. Seems to be worrying about something unknown. This has happened before. However, most of them happened in her first battle stage, when her experience, technology and psychology were relatively immature, and since that stage, this situation like this is rare, especially since she served as the captain of the Archangel space carrier, it is almost none, almost most of the time. She is able to handle and cope with situations with composure and composure.

She slowly sat down in the captain's seat, a slight frown between her brows faintly showing a hint of worry, she was not worried about the next joint attack operation, after learning of the addition of the Ninth Fleet, she knew that the success of this attack operation, the alliance was basically nine out of ten.

Caring is chaotic, she knows what she is worried about. She was worried about Risson. The Tulip Wing, which carries the quantum torpedo, will serve as the spearhead of the attack in this offensive operation, and Risson, as the leader of the Tulip Wing, is naturally at the tip of the spear. As the spearhead of the attack, it means that it will bear the priority of the defensive firepower of the Imperial fighters and battleships, which is no better than air combat, in the air combat, she believes in Ryson's ability, even if the enemy plane is bent on killing him, but Resson's skills are good enough, experienced enough, and the friendly planes that cooperate with him such as Sonia, Schneier, and Jessica are also excellent pilots, so the chance that Risen can really encounter danger in air combat is very small, but when attacking enemy ships, when all the artillery fire on the enemy ship is aimed at other places, When the attacking fighter is surrounded by flying energy beams, at this time, the role that technology and experience can play will be greatly reduced, but the decisive factor is often luck, bad luck, in a very short period of time, when suffering a large number of energy beam attacks at the same time, the super ace is not much stronger than the rookie rookie.

Of course, it can also be launched within the range of the quantum torpedo, at this time, because it is still far away from the enemy ship, the enemy's defensive artillery fire can not threaten the attack aircraft or the threat is very small, the attack aircraft will be relatively much safer, but this also means that the enemy will be given more time and opportunities to resist or avoid the quantum torpedo, in most cases, this kind of attack will generally be lost, intercepted by the defender. Xia Miaomei hits with her hands

The girl knows that Risen has always disagreed with this wasteful operation of throwing quantum torpedoes from a distance (with the exception of the quantum torpedo saturation attack on the Fortress), he has always advocated attacking at close range after approaching the target, this attack will be intercepted by enemy defense artillery fire and interstellar fighters before launching the torpedo, which is more dangerous to the attack aircraft, and the advantage is that once the torpedo is launched, the probability of successfully hitting the target is also higher, because at such a close distance, it is impossible to evade, And it barely gives the opponent much time to fight and react.

It wasn't that Risen hadn't carried out such an attack before, but this was the first time she had faced a powerful defensive firepower network of three fast battleships and seven cruisers, and she reassured herself that she was understandably worried.

She looked at the communications officer several times, but in the end she held back, Risen was not alone, and there were more than forty pilots who were taking the same risks as him, and, at the pre-mission briefing, had already put the

It's clear enough that the pilots understand what they're up against.

"May you return safely." She silently prayed and hoped, "Sonia, you must cover his rear......"

"Discover the Imperial fleet." From the keyhole warning and control machine No. 0, which had been following the rear of the group, sent a communication, "Directly ahead at 12 o'clock, at a distance of 57,000, three fast battleships and seven cruisers, as reported by the reconnaissance aircraft, they have formed a spherical dense defensive formation, it seems that they know that we are coming, and the Imperial starfighters are taking off from various ships, ready to come to intercept." ”

"Yes, lock 04." Risen was not surprised by this, and the commander of the Imperial fleet, if not stupid, should have estimated that he could be attacked by the Alliance at any time.

He switched communications to the escort group, "Sonia, over to you." ”

"Understood, Risson." Sonia. Major Yang's tone, although flat, showed a desire for victory with his flashing sharp eyes and erected V-shaped gestures.

The blue ion tail flames of more than sixty escort lightning bolts suddenly flashed, and the group quickly accelerated forward, breaking away from the main attack group led by Ruison, and rushing towards the Imperial fighters who came to intercept, they did not follow the routine and order, leaving some lightning fighters to escort the main attack group, but gathered together, and went forward to the front of the main attack group to actively attack those interceptors, which greatly liberated these lightning bolts, so that they could devote all their strength to meet the Imperial fighters. Because these friendly planes escorted by them are not attack planes similar to the Stiletto or Dreadnought, which are almost powerless to fight back when attacked by fighters, on the contrary, the main attack group is all made of the same lightning bolts as them, and if they have to throw away the quantum torpedo, their teammates become a group of bloodthirsty killers who are not inferior to them.

"Lock 04 reports that the Imperial interceptor group is rapidly approaching, at a distance of 44,000, the number of seventy-nine, and an unknown number of Imperial starfighters are turning to the ten o'clock position, which is about the same direction as our head."

"That's supposed to be the Ninth Fleet's attack aircraft group." Risen understood why, the other part of the Imperial fighters must be going to intercept the attack aircraft group of the Ninth Fleet, the two fleets had already coordinated the attack plan, and they would basically arrive at the same time, and the coordinated attack could disperse the defense of the Imperial fighters.

A cursory calculation shows that the empire uses most of the super banshees against them, and the super banshees used against the Ninth Fleet are probably less than half of them, which really flatters Ryson, sixty-four lightning against seventy-nine super banshees, no matter how you look at it, the alliance side is not dominant, but the war is not just a numbers game, although the number is small, their lightning starfighters have a performance advantage against the super banshees, and the alliance pilots have just won a big victory, and the morale is high, Have the belief that they will win because of the Sonia who commands them. Major Young is also a super ace, and her number of crashes is even better than that of the miraculous Risen Rayson. Lieutenant Colonel Nigaul is still tall, not to mention ready to be supported by Risson, who commands the main attack group.

The fighter groups on both sides quickly approached and became entangled together, as expected, although the number of fighters on the side was smaller, the air combat situation still had a slight upper hand, and the empire did not want to be entangled with the interceptor groups of these alliances, their goal was to pull the lightning group of Risen in the rear, although the fighters were all the same, but the group behind was obviously the real attack force, but unfortunately, it was not that they could not be entangled if they wanted to, the current imperial interceptor group, not to mention the wave of fighters that left the battle to attack the alliance, If you don't do your best to deal with it, you are in danger of being shot down.

In the midst of a fierce battle between the two sides, the attack aircraft group led by Risen approached the battlefield.

"Tulip One," the face of a male pilot appears on Risson's screen.

"Major Tren, how are you doing?" Risen replied that this man was Major Tren, the commander of the Ninth Fleet's attack group.

"Fortunately, the Empire only sent thirty-four Super Banshees to deal with us, and the number of these Super Banshees who came to intercept them was not even enough for the number of our escort fleet, and the main attack group was breaking through the defense network of the Imperial fighters and approaching the enemy fleet, and it seems to be going well so far." The commander kindly warned. "It looks like the Empire is taking special care of you, most of the starfighters are turning in your direction to deal with you, please be careful."

"It seems that the victory in the previous air battle scared the Empire." Risen smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can deal with them, according to the current situation, we won't have too much difficulty breaking through their fighter defense network, we'll see you at the Imperial fleet later." "Understood, Tulip One."
