Two hundred and sixteen, Tulip One, ejection

"Keep the speed, keep the direction, keep the formation, keep up with me." Resson informed his pilot as he lowered the nose slightly, and the fighter roared toward the lower edge of the battlefield where beams of energy and missiles flew around.

Although they had tried their best to avoid passing directly through the center of the battlefield so as not to attract the greatest attention of the Imperial fighters, the size of the group of more than forty lightning planes led by Ryson was too large, and it would be a lie to say that no one noticed, and most of the sensors of the Imperial fighters noticed the approaching group of fighters and alerted their pilots, and the Imperial pilots also understood that those were the real targets of their interception mission.

It's a pity that they are really lacking in skills, the Alliance's escort fleet is very conscientious to entangle most of the Super Banshees, and only a few Imperial Super Banshee starfighters can barely get out and meet the Alliance's group, causing some trouble to the Alliance fighters on the outside of the formation, and these Alliance fighters have to temporarily break away from the formation to avoid the energy beams launched by the enemy aircraft.

However, that's all, the Imperial fighters tried to break up the entire formation without success, most of the Alliance fighters ignored the harassment of a few Imperial fighters, and still maintained a good formation formation, and continued to move forward without stopping, and several lightning bolts that temporarily broke away from the formation also quickly returned to the formation, and the super banshees who harassed them did not take too long, and when locking 04, they discovered these few Imperial fighters, and notified and guided the more 'free' escort fighters to deal with these super banshees.

It was only a blink of an eye to break through the defensive nets of the Imperial fighters, and the attack aircraft group soon left the main battlefield of air combat behind. The price paid was that two lightning bolts were shot down, in addition to the escort fighter group also lost eight lightning fighters, but the Imperial fighters who came to intercept it were not very good, a total of twenty-eight Super Banshees were destroyed, and with the continuous loss of more and more Super Banshees, the Imperial interceptor group also lost the only advantage over the alliance escort fighter group - numerical superiority, the resistance alliance not only has the quality advantage of pilots, but also occupies the advantage of fighter performance and numbers. The Imperial Interceptor Group can no longer pose any more threat to the main attack group.

But. Although the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable. However, the Imperial pilots knew that the first layer of the fleet's interception net had been torn apart and the entire fleet was in danger, so a few Imperial pilots still ignored the alliance escort group and followed reluctantly.

"Tulip One, there are four enemy planes following us." The shadows did not hide from the lightning's sensors, and a pilot flying at the end of the formation immediately reported.

"Hmm......" Since most of the escort fighters were in the rear and engaged in the battle with the Imperial aircraft, he began to consider whether he and Jessica should temporarily leave the team to deal with these enemy planes. Although his lightning carried a quantum torpedo and caused the maneuverability to be less than before, but with his and Jessica's technology, it should not be a problem to deal with these four enemy planes for the time being, he glanced at the sensor, and was about to make a decision, at this time, the sensor showed not only four super banshees, but also two more lightning fighters that had been on the side were also following behind the four enemy planes, and the finger of lock 04 was very timely.

"Don't worry. Rissen. A confident and familiar voice appeared in the cockpit, "I'll deal with them." ”

"Thank you, Sonia. With you, I'm not worried at all. Resson had a smile on his face, and with the number one fighter ace in the fleet, he was beginning to pity the pilots of the Imperial Super Banshees.

"Ignore the Imperial fighters, Angel One will help us out, keep in formation and move on." He commanded.

"Understood, Captain."

Behind them, a variety of energy beams and missile exchanges quickly erupted between several small dots, and in just a short moment, Risen noticed that with the appearance of an exploding flame in the rear, the four small red dots representing the Imperial Super Banshee fighter became three, and the accuracy and effectiveness of the attack were amazing, and it was not known whose masterpiece it was, when he and Schneier first met her, Schneier was quickly shot down by such a terrible attack.

Great, Sonia, Risen is sincerely happy for her, it seems that he can't surpass her in terms of performance, but he doesn't care too much, as the captain of the Ninth Air Force, his attention has long been diverted, he is now the main focus on the battle of the entire formation and the victory of the alliance, not his personal record, besides, with the close relationship between them, what does it matter?

He focused his attention on the front, the Imperial fleet was getting closer and closer, ahead, there was no trace of the Imperial fighters, and in the rear, with the loss of more Super Banshees, the few escort lightning planes could already free up and accelerate towards the main attack group...... Everything, it looks like it's going well.

"We've seen you on the sensor screen, Tulip One." As Major Tren reported again, Risen also saw a group of small green dots at the edge of the detection far edge of his fighter's sensor, moving in the opposite direction with them, and the two green dots gradually surrounded the ten densely distributed small red dots in the middle.

"I see you too, Major." Risen ordered, "The first target is the Empire's three fast battleships, and you are responsible for the one closest to you. ”

"Understood,

The group of planes got closer and closer to the Imperial fleet, as if at the sound of an order, all the defensive turrets of all the ships of the Empire opened fire, and beams of energy of various colors poured violently, opening the net of annihilation towards the Alliance fighters who dared to attack, and in an instant, this originally dark universe became colorful and colorful.

As he got closer and closer to the Imperial fleet, the energy beams in front of him became more and more dense, and a few lightning bolts could no longer withstand the fierce attacks launched by the enemy fleet, and the strength of the front shields of these fighters had been sharply weakened, and they had to abandon the attack and change course. Stay away from the Imperial fleet for a while and wait for the shield system to regain strength.

"It's the first time I've encountered such heavy defensive fire." A young pilot stammered, his words speaking to the hearts of most people.

"Spread out, don't get together, look for weak spots in the enemy's defensive artillery fire, attack from all directions, huh??" Risen suddenly frowned, and he saw a yellow dot on the screen. It was a quantum torpedo fired by a group of attack aircraft commanded by Major Tren. Although he had already warned the young pilots of the Ninth Fleet before the war. Pay attention to the quantum torpedo launches, but many young pilots have encountered such dense artillery fire for the first time, and in the panic of seeing their friends being shot down or forced to retreat, many people are eager to launch their torpedoes on their planes, and then try to steer their fighters away from these terrible fire-breathing monsters.

And under their influence, the Tulip Wing also had some inexperienced and psychologically composed pilots who launched their quantum torpedoes at a long distance. By the time the annoyed Ryson ordered his men not to waste the torpedoes and to get closer, it was too late, and he could only watch as the torpedoes flew 'slowly' towards the Imperial fleet, which was heavily defended by artillery, and at this firing distance, Resson had no hope of the success of his attacks, and the Imperial fleet had plenty of time to deal with them.

As he expected, all the artillery fire on the side of the Imperial Fleet that formed a good defensive formation was aimed at the incoming quantum torpedoes, and one after another the torpedoes died before they could get out of the division. Far from reaching the target, it was destroyed halfway through. The battleship where the pilots of the Ninth Fleet attacked was hit only two torpedoes, and one of the hastily fired torpedoes by the Tulip Wing was also hit, although the strength of the shields on these battleships was quite damaging. However, the ships were not actually damaged.

This is not like their attack on the space carrier Bastion, the Bastion is only escorted by two cruisers, and it was suddenly attacked during the voyage, and there are ten imperial warships here, and they also form a tight defensive formation, especially the three fast battleships in the center of the fleet, like porcupine thorn-like energy beams cooperate with each other, covering the airspace near the fleet so that even water can't be splashed into it, and it is not easy to attack at close range.

However, these torpedoes are not completely useless, they at least attract the attention of the Imperial fleet, distract the defensive fire of the Imperial fleet, and allow the Lightnings to get closer to the fleet, but this is also temporary, Risen realizes that if he does not use this opportunity as soon as possible to deal a major blow to the three fast battleships in the center of the fleet as defensive support, when the Imperial fleet turns its attention back, I am afraid that their attack today will be quite difficult.

"Follow me." As soon as he gritted his teeth, he personally led a six-machine team, and drilled into the gap in the Imperial fleet's defensive artillery fire, and the nose was directly aimed at an Imperial cruiser, but his real purpose was not this cruiser.

He planned to use the hull of this cruiser to block the fire of other Imperial ships, so that they could temporarily withstand the fire of only one Imperial fast battleship and two cruisers, and then when approaching the cruiser, he suddenly made a turn and pounced on the fast battleship that was firing fiercely, the trick was very old-fashioned, but it also worked, only one lightning was injured and was forced to withdraw from the battle, and the other five insisted on approaching the fast battleship despite the weakening of their shields, and the distance was already very close, Nearly, Terrison could already see the white number printed on the side of the ship on the screen, and the computer system on board gave the battleship the name of the battleship - the counterattack.

The Counterattack had apparently spotted these dangerous uninvited guests, and all the artillery fire was coming at them, and Risen who rushed to the front was the first to take it, and he steered the fighter jet to sway from side to side in the rain of energy beams, and the quantum torpedo had already locked onto the target.......

"Launch!" He had been waiting for a long time to press down on his fingers, and one after another the torpedoes broke away from the fighter and flew towards the Counterattack, and the last torpedo left the fighter, and Risen was immediately ready to pull the fighter out of the ......

But a red light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the sound of warning filled the cockpit, and the various systems failed almost simultaneously, and the fighter plane rolled helplessly and spun like a gadget, crashing uncontrollably into the Imperial battleship in front of him.

"Tulip One, eject." He did not hesitate, and for the first time in his life, he pulled the yellow and black ejection handle.......

It's just that he doesn't understand, how did he get shot down? Earlier, his fighter shield was still close to thirty percent strong, and all the systems were working normally, but at that moment, everything was over.
