274. Covert Operations
.
The team jumped out of subspace at a secret space jump point.
"Call the Archangel control center, Angel Four is ready to take off and requests to go." A fighter with an all-black fuselage was parked in the No. 1 launch channel of the Archangel space carrier, and the pilot Zhang Xiaojing sat in the cockpit of this new stealth fighter, holding the "" longitudinal rod, holding his breath, waiting for the departure order to be issued.
"Angel number five can go." In the cockpit of another Mirage fighter in the other "firing" channel, Susie, another young girl from the Blue Angel Squadron, also reported at the same time that she would be Zhang Xiaojing's wingman during this mission.
"Xiaojing, you will be the eyes of the fleet in front, it's up to you, show the phantom's ability well, and poke a big hole in the empire's monitoring network." Sonia. Yang said.
"Captain, don't worry, in front of the fleet, you won't miss an eye."
"Remember, you have to hit with one hit, and then fire when you are sure, even if you are closer, it doesn't matter, if you need to make up for a second shot, you will give the opponent time to react." Risen added.
"Of course, I don't want to see who Miss Ben is, and I still use you to remind you?" Zhang Xiaojing is not polite at all in front of Ressen, Ressen has a headache, why is this guy's performance in front of Sonia and in front of him completely different, he is the captain of the Ninth Air Force.
"Hmm!" Sonia nodded slightly, "Angel number four, number five, you can go." Good luck. ”
"Yes, Captain."
The two Phantom starfighters quickly left the Archangel space carrier. And quickly integrated into the dark background environment of the universe in front of them, although the three ion engines of the Phantom Land were fully thrust, but relying on the specially designed black hole at the tail of the Phantom fighter, an ion tail flame shielding device, even if observed from the rear, the blue "color" ion tail flame is not obvious, and the faint blue "color" light point is easily confused with the light of the distant stars, and if the thrust is appropriately reduced. That's even harder to spot. Especially in front of the warplane. The phantom's ionic tail flame is barely visible.
After leaving the Archangel, the two stealth fighters quickly activated the shadow force field on the plane, and the fleet only relied on the faint blue "color" ion tail flame on the tail of the fighter plane, representing the green "color" light point of the two phantom ground, to barely display it on the sensor screen, but as the phantom stealth fighter flew farther and farther, it flew out of the range of optical sensing. The green dot of light on the screen also disappeared, and there was nothing in front of the fleet.
"It's a good thing, I don't know it." Risen stood on the side with his hands crossed, and admired as he watched, "It's just that the number is too small, if it's more, give me one or two squadrons." That's it. ”
"The Phantom is a special-purpose model. It is impossible to equip the fleet on a large scale and use it in the same way as a conventional fighter, as in the Lightning, otherwise it will not only seriously reduce the combat effectiveness of the mothership, but also cause a great waste of resources. Sonia stared at the screen. Without looking back, he said, the screen image showed that the other two Phantom fighters were entering the "launch" channel, this is the Lan Lan and Anne Di detachment, which is specially responsible for following the rear of Zhang Xiaojing's detachment and the front of the fleet, performing the task of communication relay, and preventing emergencies and 'filling in the gaps'......
The fleet dispatched a total of four Phantom stealth fighters, leaving only one spare, four Phantom fighters will be guided by the keyhole warning and control aircraft, the airspace in the direction of the fleet to conduct reconnaissance, search, monitoring and cleaning, unlike before, today's keyhole no longer has to be extremely close, leaning to the location of the discovery, in order to discover the empire's new unmanned monitor, in the previous battle, the alliance successfully obtained several complete empire new unmanned monitors, After a series of comprehensive analyses of these unmanned monitors, technicians upgraded the sensor array of the keyhole twice, although the keyhole warning and control machine still needs to rely on a considerable distance to find this new type of unmanned monitor, but this distance is already outside the monitoring range of the unmanned monitor, in other words, the keyhole can be found one step earlier when the new unmanned monitor of the empire is found, the imperial monitor is still unable to see the keyhole, but unfortunately, the level of false warning rate has improved, But it's still a little too high, so I have to work hard for the pilots to identify them one by one.
Being able to discover the other party without the other party noticing it is only the first step, in the past, if you want to destroy these unmanned monitors, you have to send fighters into the monitoring range of the other party, then it is inevitable that these unmanned monitors will be discovered and report to the empire, however, now it is different, the alliance has a new phantom stealth fighter, which can quietly and undetected sneak into the monitoring range of the unmanned monitor to launch an attack, although the empire's unmanned monitor is also equipped with an optical sensing lens, However, the lens of the optical sensing device has a certain observation angle limit according to the location of the unmanned monitor, and the stealth fighter of the alliance can enter from the angle that it cannot observe
After all, there are too many small objects such as gravel, dust, ice and wreckage in space, if any space meteorite passes by, it can attract the attention of unmanned monitors and observe and track for half a day, and even issue an alarm, then the design of this unmanned monitor is definitely a failure.
Phantoms, on the other hand, rely on the shadow force field formed on the surface of the body, which happens to be able to avoid the detection of electronic sensors......
However, once fired, the electronic sensors of the unmanned monitor will react immediately, which is why Risen requires that he must hit with one hit, so the pilots of the four Phantoms are all pilots of the Blue Angels, first, they are more familiar with the Phantoms, on the other hand, the piloting skills and "shooting" skills are also very good, although they are not up to the level of Sonia and Risson, but it is enough to deal with fixed targets without maneuverability.
--------------------------------------------------
Imperial-74 starstation.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a numerical arrangement, it means that it belongs to the 74th station, and the name of the .., is called "Station 74", an Imperial army that was not important in the first place:
However, now its position has been strengthened, since it is necessary to pass through this space station to get to the Empire's control domain from the direction of the Almeron system, an Imperial fleet with three space carriers has been stationed on the space station, and another Imperial outpost near the jump point between JP2 has also stationed a fourth space carrier, the Empire has not only improved various defense facilities in this star field, but also widely distributed unmanned monitors, forming a tight network, any ships or warplanes entering and leaving this star field, it seems that "138 Reading Books" surveillance.
If every node of this web works well, then there may be no problem, but today, this net, it seems that there are some glitches.
"What, it's malfunctioning again?" An officer in the control center of Station 74: Holding the microphone, he said angrily, "This little thing still bothers the commander?" What to do? Do you still need to ask? Dispatch an ambulance support ship to investigate, try to troubleshoot, and if it is not possible, re-establish a new ...... It's not the first time that an unmanned monitor has no signal...... What? Troublesome? How many are there in total...... I see...... I immediately reported to the commander......"
Maybe his voice wasn't quiet enough, maybe the commander was just bored, and before the officer could be armed, the commander spoke first, "What's the matter?" Jody. ”
"Sir," the officer reluctantly turned back to report, "it's our monitor, and there's something wrong again." ”
"Ha, I thought it was a big deal, it turned out to be this," the commander didn't care, "how did you deal with it before, I think you should still have an impression, didn't there just be a damage two days ago?" ”
These unmanned monitors, don't see that the factory is good, but in the extremely harsh space environment of space, it is normal for some small problems to occur, in addition, there are many meteorites and other small objects in space, and the possibility of damage caused by collision is small, but it cannot be completely ruled out.
"However, sir, the number of damage this time is relatively large, and it has been preliminarily determined that seven unmanned monitors have lost their signal."
"Five?" The commander frowned, "What the hell are you doing?" Why are there so many problems, and what are them? ”
“pg-021035049、66.....”
"Wait," the commander said, as if he had discovered something, "and brought up the map of the monitoring network and marked it on the map." ”
"Yes, sir."
The screen in front of it immediately shows the distribution map of the unmanned monitors in the star field, and the unmanned monitors that have lost their signals have been marked on the map, which is quite regular, like an extended line, passing through the monitoring network.
Line? Route?
"Stupid, this is not natural damage, this is man-made sabotage, there must be rebel ships active." The commander immediately jumped to his feet. "Immediately notify the fleet, issue a red 'color' alert, and all personnel enter combat positions......"
It's just that one thing is not clear to him, if it is really a rebel, why did those unmanned monitors not sound the alarm in time? Why does the new unmanned monitor work so badly?
Unfortunately, it was too late, when the Imperial fleet arrived, the accident site was already empty, and a large number of reconnaissance planes sent did not find the rebel fleet, only from the wreckage of the recovered unmanned monitor, the traces of energy weapons were clearly visible, and it was finally confirmed that there were indeed rebel ships or warplanes passing here.
As for whether it is a ship, or a warplane, a battleship, or a fleet...... That's not clear.
