200. Pillar (11)
What's new in the emperor? What do they want to do? What else can they do Not long after arriving at the bridge of the Archangel, he knew about the abnormal actions of the emperor, and he suddenly felt a little nervous, Sonia had just left, calculating the time, they should have just boarded the Alliance No. 1 fast ship, how could it be so coincidental, the emperor ** happened to have an operation at this time, can't you guys stay on the planet Corcoran as honestly as before? ADHD.
"Huh? Starfighter of the Empire...... What do you want to do with squads and detachments? Leaving the planet Corcoran? Leaving the Planetary Shield's range? Breakthrough? No way..... These enemy planes also include some banshees and daggers, who have no space jumping ability, and the safest place in the Corcoran system is now on the planet Corcoran...... Attack the fleet? Doesn't look like it? These scattered fleets simply can't shake a powerful fleet with several starfighters...... Help? So what's the trouble? Wouldn't it be simpler to call directly with subspace communications? Our jamming and blocking technologies don't do it all the time...... So, after ruling out other options, the most likely is the idea of playing League One? Khan, however, there are two space carrier formations escorting the Alliance-1......"
Risen muttered a guess while looking at the data transmitted by several keyhole warning and control machines, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and this kind of psychology of not guessing the other party's plan made him feel slightly anxious and irritable.
"It's just that the Sweeper and the USS Liberator space carrier formations have just finished cleaning up the galaxy. Returning, yet to join Alliance One. Yao reminded him softly. At present, the escort force of the Earth Alliance One is only one team of lightning starfighters on its own board, and another team of lightning sent from the Raider, a total of twenty-four. ”
"That's right," the word woke up the dreamer, and Resson's confusion was lifted, and he chuckled slightly. "Philen. You are really smart. It seems that I am thinking too complicated.
Neither of these two people is a fuel-efficient lamp, just a reminder, a hint, and they immediately come to mind.
"From leaving us to joining up with the interstellar fighters sent by the Sweeper and Liberator to escort us, although this gap period is not long, it is always a blank period." Risen frowned and said, "If only we could send more escort blitzkriegs." ”
"It's unlikely. Being able to send a team is already the limit. Yao Feilun shook his head, "The Sweeper and the Liberator also need to be alert to possible imperial reinforcements from other space hopping points, and we have to keep an eye on the Imperial fleet on the planet Corcoran and prevent them from leaving the planet Corcoran, otherwise, the task of escorting Alliance One is simple, but if we want to protect the large number of transport ships from the Federation next, it will not be so easy." None of our carrier-based starfighters have been replenished for attrition in continuous combat grounds. Now so many people are gone......"
Risen understood what she meant, and the first problem was that of the fleet, although there were two less space carrier formations. But the ones who stayed to keep an eye on the planet Corcoran and the 11th fleet of the empire were all the elite fleets of the alliance, including the oldest qualified Seventh Fleet and the fifth ** mobile fleet that came later, the pilots were of high quality, and the number of fighters was also quite a lot, and they were all lightning starfighters.
What he is afraid of is that the Imperial fleet has left the planet Corcorand, especially the Imperial fleet that has left the planet Corcoran will not challenge the alliance fleet, but will deal with them in the Corcoran system, it will be a big trouble, Risen knows how huge the transport ships and materials that are about to pass through the space hopping point to the federal aid, even if the fleet is complete, it is difficult to protect it thoroughly, the imperial fleet will have many opportunities to attack, and if one is not careful, the transport fleet will suffer heavy losses.
It is much stronger and simpler to keep the Imperial fleet firmly in one place and not let them have a chance to take advantage of it than to let them run around in the galaxy and keep up their spirit at all times to guard against their attacks and sneak attacks, without any slackness, although this tactic is much more conservative than tactics such as luring the enemy and destroying them, but at this time, the alliance would rather seek stability.
In addition, the second problem mentioned by Yao, that is, the problem of carrier-based aircraft and pilots, although they have won victories one after another, but in continuous operations, the alliance's own starfighters have also lost a lot, and they have not had time to replenish, and then they need to leave part of their forces to escort General Oskani's transport fleet that has withdrawn from Siberia, and they have divided part of the escort forces, and the Sweeper and the Liberator have also left, and then Sonia and a group of elite pilots have left, It is also necessary to send patrol planes to patrol and monitor the vicinity of Corcoran without interruption, and it can be said that the current use of interstellar fighters is already extremely tight, which is also an important reason for being conservative.
"Forget it, I think I'm also concerned about it, after all, we're here to see the death of the Imperial team, and the Sweeper and Liberator are staring at possible Imperial reinforcements, and I can't think of ......anything else in the Corcoran system," he looked at the scattered Imperial starfighter formations and asked, "Do you think it's possible?" ”
"It stands to reason that it is impossible, Alliance One has two teams of lightning escorts." Yao Feilun shook his head, "The empire's scattered two-plane or four-plane formation, no."
Breaking through the interception of these escort aircraft, but ......"
She didn't go on.
"yes, it's one thing in theory, but in practice...... It's really hard to say how effective it is, but if you meet a skilled pilot with great skills, you can have a bit ......of luck," Risen muttered, "On the battlefield, anything can happen." ”
He remembered the search for Piper's fleet, the first to discover the whereabouts of Piper's fleet, Echo Eleven, Sergeant Roskill (now a second lieutenant), a rookie. He piloted a reconnaissance plane by himself, and he alone broke through the many escort planes of the Imperial Fleet and reached the Imperial Fleet.
The Confederate One Rapid Ship was converted from a cruiser to serve as a cruiser. Its shield system is completely ineffective against the attacks of torpedoes. Its firepower for self-defense is also inferior to that of ordinary cruisers. There are not many Imperial fighters that break through the interception, just one is enough, as long as this Imperial starfighter that breaks through the interception carries a quantity of torpedoes, then the Alliance One will be dangerous.
The old Banshees, Super Banshees, and Gladiators of the Empire can all be torpedoed instead of missiles, and it is impossible to tell from the sensors whether the Imperial fighters are torpedoes or missiles. It must be very close to the scanning beam of the APG-49XT series sensors on the ground for the fighter to have a chance to scan what weapons are actually mounted on the Imperial Starfighter.
"Colonel Taylor has mobilized patrol planes to intercept the Imperial Starfighters who are trying to leave the planet Corcortan." The girl carefully calculated in her heart, "After all, the range is too wide, and there must be some scattered enemy planes that can dodge it." ”
"Fei Ren, I think I should go for a trip in person to rest assured." Risen made up his mind.
"It's fine." The girl thought for a moment. "With you and Sonia here, it should be foolproof, but. Again, I would like to ask General Martin. ”
"Of course. Well, by the way, I have an idea......."
"Risson, do you think it's really necessary?" General Martin looked at the data on the side, "There are not many Imperial Star Fighters that can break through the interception of our army's patrol planes, and they pose little threat to Alliance One, and these Imperial Fighters may not necessarily go to the ground for Alliance One, not to mention, you know that our fleet is currently short of fighters and pilots, once fighters are dispatched, and the Imperial fleet is going to break out of the planet Corcoran at this time, a large-scale battle cannot be avoided, at this time we need more fighters, and we need excellent pilots like you." ”
"General, I think it is really necessary, I have already said the danger of Alliance One just now, I am not afraid of ten thousand, I am afraid of what happens, I know the current situation of the fleet, so I only bring Jessica, two fighters, two less lightning, it will not have much impact on the fighter strength of the fleet itself, and I don't think that the Imperial fleet will leave the planet Corcoran at this moment, they have sent many small fleets of starfighters, which means that the starfighter strength of the enemy fleet is also decreasing, The balance of power has not changed fundamentally in comparison, and even if the Imperial fleet leaves the planet Corcoran at this time, it will not be a big problem. ”
"And, I promise, it won't take too long to escort only the convoy to the convoy with the Liberator and the Sweeper and return to the fleet."
The general was silent for a moment and nodded, "Understood, indeed, those imperial fighters can break through our patrol planes to intercept them, and we can't take them lightly, and you will protect the Alliance No. 1, which is our best guarantee, then let's act, go early and return early." ”
"Yes, General. However, I have one more request, which, you see, may require the approval of you and Colonel Taylor, and it is more appropriate for the Colonel to give orders. Risen said embarrassed, his face a little uncomfortable.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" General Martin and Colonel Taylor looked at each other, both feeling a little strange.
"Look, you sent out to escort the 23rd team of Alliance One, can you let him +o on Alliance One?" Risen said with a slurrel.
"Why?"
"This, as you know, the pilots who arranged to return to the Federation are all on the Alliance One, and there are pilots from the original Angel Wing......"
"You asked the guys from Team 23 to leave their fighter jets for a while and hand them over to the pilot?" Colonel Taylor suddenly realized.
"Sir, I didn't disrespect the guys of Team 23, I didn't just think that being driven by those girls would be more efficient in guarding Alliance One, and Alliance One would be safer." Risen said loudly.
"Needless to say, young man, if you don't mention it, I almost forgot that our number of downs reached Major Yang, I know what you're worried about, but you're too worried, many of Team 23 are very worshipful, maybe they will be honored that their fighters are lucky enough to be piloted by her." Colonel Taylor laughed.
"Really?"
"Do you want to make a bet?"
"Forget it, your subordinates, you know best." "Haha......"
