2083. Reconnaissance (4)
.
on the USS Dignity spaceship.
Everyone was paying attention to the chase and interception battle that was taking place under their noses on the screen, and after discovering that those strange starfighters did not show the expected attack "sex" - those fighters could have taken advantage of the fact that a considerable number of transport ships would have turned into a cloud of ashes before the interceptor fighters arrived, the atmosphere in the bridge eased again, and people whispered, speculating about the models, identities, "sexual" abilities, and surprising stealth abilities of those strange fighters. and their purpose and so on.
"Sir, we have analyzed the movements of the enemy planes, and the reason why they did not fire on our transport ships is probably because the enemy planes are carrying out reconnaissance missions, and their purpose should be the cargo carried on our transport ship...... An Imperial officer stood straight in front of the commander and reported as he spoke.
"Well, looking for something?" The commander pondered, in fact, his words were a bit redundant, no need to ask, he probably knew everything.
"It is believed that the enemy planes may have come for the Virgo transport." The Imperial officer said cautiously, "Shall we ask ......?"
"That's enough." The commander immediately interrupted him stiffly, "This is not something we should know, we are only responsible for the escort mission. All right. Go down. ”
"Yes, Commander." After saluting obediently, the officer turned and walked out.
Yes, his task is only to escort the convoy to the designated star field, and then naturally other fleets will take over, and he doesn't need to worry much about other things, which he has already explained before receiving the task and setting off. As for why you do this? What's on board? Where do you sail after arriving at the designated starfield? Which army will take over, etc. He didn't know at all. Even how many people there were on board the Virgo was a mystery, and he only knew that there must be more than a normal crew.
The ship was full of guards, and they were all agents of the Imperial Security Service, so it was better not to ask for trouble.
He glanced at the screen, and it wasn't bad. The two Banshees and the two Short Swords that had just attacked had intercepted the enemy fighter closest to the Virgo, and the other two Banshees were also approaching the other one closer, and the two squadrons of Super Banshee Starfighters were speeding back, and there was another Banshee and a Short Sword ready to go out in the "firing" passage...... It only takes a few minutes, a few minutes, and the pilots of the enemy planes can ask for their own blessings.
He was suddenly interested in these strange fighters that could evade the detection of electronic sensors, and after the situation was completely controlled, was there such a possibility. Forced landing of one such fighter. What about further research......
-------------------------------------------------
The eighth transport ship had already fallen behind the phantom, and a faint disappointment swelled up in Ressen's heart again, and the transport ship was loaded with nothing more than some ordinary goods such as grain and nitrogen. They couldn't get along with what they wanted to discover, and his mission goal was only the last transport ship.
The two Banshees who had just arrived had fallen behind Ryson's Phantom Machine, and the lightning "shooting" cannon and ion cannon on the plane were like a torrential rain, and the Dao Energy Beam continued to pass around the Phantom Fighter, but under Risen Avoidance, most of the attacks failed, only one or two beams hit, but it didn't cause any major problems, the Phantom's shadow force field has been turned off, and the energy shield was activated instead, although because the shield activation time is still short, the shield strength is not full, however, there is still room for measures to deal with one or two beams that occasionally hit.
Risen lightly soaked, the Imperial pilots of the two banshees behind him were not experienced veterans, such an attack seemed to be very violent, but at the same time, it was also a serious drain on the cannon energy of their fighters, this attack could not last, if he was not wrong, the next thing was his chance.
The attacking firepower behind him was as he expected, and when the two Imperial pilots were scrambling to redistribute their energy to the cannon energy storage and their attention relaxed slightly, they were suddenly surprised to find that the figure of the enemy plane was growing sharply in their eyes......
Risen was able to complete the change of position with a single deceleration, and the two banshees rushed to the front of the Phantom, this time it was the turn of the Imperial pilots to withstand the stormy energy attack from the rear.
Risen clasped the plate machine tightly and ruthlessly returned the energy beam to the other party, although in terms of firepower, the phantom only had two thunder "shooting" cannons and one ion cannon, even weaker than the banshee, but his accurate attack made up for this, almost a few of the phantom's energy beams missed, most of them fell on the back of the leading banshee's fuselage, provoking the energy shield Dao flash, the enemy pilot knew that the situation was not good, and took emergency measures to avoid it the moment he surpassed the phantom, but the effect was not great, who is Ressen? He's a super killer with a three-digit record of shooting down, so close, such a good opportunity, can he miss it?
The Banshee's energy shield was quickly pierced, and the remnants of the artillery fire hit the fighter's shell directly, piercing through the armor protecting the fighter, and the Banshee's left wing was scattered, and an ion engine stalled, just as the Imperial pilot was about to pull the "firing" rod, he was
Joyful found that the attack stopped, and the enemy aircraft left his tail.
Could it be that the enemy is also running out of cannon energy? Or was it his luck? Or did the pilots of enemy aircraft have good intentions? With one question after another, the Imperial pilots struggled to "" the barely able fighter jet and struggled to return to the USS Dignity space carrier.
Actually, no, the correct answer is that the last transport ship is already in front of Ryson's eyes, and the enemy plane is turning, if he wants to shoot down this banshee, he will have to follow the enemy plane to turn, then he will miss the transport ship. He had to turn around and do it again, the enemy planes had lost their combat capability, and there was no longer any possibility of hindering their movements, and the effect of shooting down to the ground was the same, that would be enough, he didn't want to waste time at this time, even if it was tens of seconds.
One Banshee returned home with serious injuries, while the other was busy turning to avoid it. Trying to regain the position of attack. Take advantage of this moment of emptiness. Ryson's phantom approached the last transport ship, and when the banshee desperately turned back, it didn't dare to fire, the phantom and the transport ship were too close, and the banshee's position was not good, and it was on the same line as the phantom and the transport, if he attacked. It's more likely to hit your own transport, rather than a fast, oddly moving enemy aircraft, and the transport's ground armor and shields are weak.
"Angel Four reports that all designated transport vessels have been tested and nothing suspicious has been found." Zhang Xiaojing's crisp voice rang out.
"Angel Seventeen reports that there is no abnormality and is now on his way to support Thunderbird One." This is Lan Lan's report.
"Got it, this is Tulip One. I'm also nearing completion of testing. Wait a minute......" As he spoke, the results of the sensor scan were already displayed on the screen, and his face suddenly became gloomy. It is equipped with ion engines, cannons, etc., and it seems that it is spare parts for starfighters, and it is in vain.
"Angel Four, Angel Seventeen, I haven't found it here either," he called urgently, "The mission has changed, priority is given to the detection of the two transport ships that Thunderbird 1 has not yet completed the inspection, I will arrive immediately, and prepare to retreat......"
If it does, it must be in one of the last two transports, and if not, they can evacuate sooner if they confirm that the intelligence is wrong.
The enemy planes behind him are still following in the shadows, but with the previous lesson, the action has become much more cautious, Risen with the help of the cover of the transport ship and a few maneuvering feints, quickly threw the enemy plane away for a distance, although it is still within the attack range of the enemy aircraft, but the accuracy of the cannon attack is even worse (anyway, the original "shooting" level is not very good), and missiles cannot be used, because this is an emergency sortie, these banshees have not even had time to install image recognition missiles.
Before he arrived, he had already heard the test results of Lan Lan and Zhang Xiaojing, the two banshees and the two short swords were powerless to stop the action of the three phantoms, although the mobility of the phantom was not as good as lightning, but it was roughly the same as the super banshee, not to mention the ability level of the pilot sitting in the phantom, Zhang Xiaojing, Lan Lan and Schneier The combined results of the three people were close to ninety.
"Target discovery," Lan Lan succinctly reported, "the Pegasus-class transport, codenamed ZD-13, an oversized subspace displacement." ”
"Well done, Lan Lan." Resson gasped, hell, it was almost the last ship that they found this thing, why didn't they find it on the first ship in the first place?
"I've finally found it." Schneier was relieved, "Hey, I said, let's get out of here, there's another banshee and a dagger coming, we can handle that, but there's nothing we can do about it." ”
"Angel Four covers Thunderbird One, prioritize the banshee down, those short swords can't keep up with our retreat, Angel Seventeen, drive the tail behind me, I'm going to enter now." Risen had already found the transport ship that Lan Lan had instructed.
Risen carefully hid his phantom under the transport, with the help of the transport's huge hull cover, avoiding the transport's defensive gunfire, entering steadily, in order to be more accurate, he even reduced the speed of the phantom, but it didn't matter, there were no enemy planes behind him, and the banshee that followed him before was taking care of itself under Lan Lan's attack.
Steady, steady, his mind was highly concentrated, paying full attention to every slight change in the position of the phantom and the transport, the closer it gets, the more accurate it gets, until the phantom almost collides with the transport, he gently presses the button, and then quickly disengages.
He didn't feel anything, not even a slight shock from the fuselage, the tracking device was so insignificant, if it weren't for the electronics in the cockpit telling him, Risen sometimes wondered if the thing had left his fuselage.
He looked around, under the joint attack of Schnell and Zhang Xiaojing, one banshee had been shot down, and the other was also embarrassed, the two short swords could not help at all, and the one Lan Lan was responsible for dealing with, due to the lack of companion cover, and because of the difference between the fighter's "sex" ability and the pilot's ability, it had been firmly bitten, and the fate of his long plane reappeared on him again.
"Phantom Squad," Risen was very satisfied with the result, now, it was time to leave, and the remaining enemy planes could not cause them any more serious problems until the other enemy planes arrived. "Follow me, let's get out of this place quickly."
