Two hundred ninety-seven, trumpet search
In normal times, a single Imperial Sabre-class cruiser is not surprised at all, they are no longer rookies who have never seen the world, they once led the noses of the four space carriers of Piper's fleet, and they played a game of hide and seek in the universe, a Sabre-class cruiser, which is far from attracting their attention.
But this cruiser obviously can't be looked at from a normal point of view, the key is the location where it appears, this is already the outer edge of the Brest galaxy, very close to the deep space universe, and the normal intragalactic route formed by several space jump points is even more far away, the fifth independent mobile fleet from the position of the fourth planet, according to the course of the Pegasus-class transport ship all the way carefully searched to come here, it took several days, there should not be any imperial warships here, There was no reason why an Imperial warship would come to such a remote location, unless there was a real need.
They had already had some doubts about coming here, in a sense, the appearance of this Imperial cruiser was really timely rain, which made them realize that they may not be chasing the wrong thing, and the course of the Imperial Pegasus-class transport ship may not be for "confusion" and "confusion......
"Attention, Captain on the bridge."
"Report on the current situation of the enemy ship, has anything changed?" Yao hurriedly walked into the bridge, and before he could sit down in his special seat, he asked impatiently, and Risen followed her in, standing aside, there was no need for him to go to the flight preparation room now, and there was no need for this.
"No, the enemy was discovered by Lock 01, which was on guard in front of us. A Sabre-class cruiser, the name of the ship is unknown, and there are also two Super Banshee starfighters performing escort and alert missions in front of the enemy ship, the enemy has not yet discovered us, and continues to sail along the current course, sailing at an angle of thirty-seven degrees with us, and the current distance has shrunk to 68400, sir. "Her adjutant. Captain Edita reported.
"Are you going to send fighter jets to intercept it? Captain. Resson asked half-haha. That being said. But this guy has a relaxed demeanor, holding his hands, without any pre-war tension, and obviously has no preparations and plans to go out at all.
"Knowingly asked." The girl gave him a blank look, ignored him, and turned to Captain Edita.
"Inform the whole fleet that the course is 3-0-2. Maintain speed and position, and distance yourself from the Imperial Cruisers. Yao's eyes were fixed on the screen in front of him as he gave an order for the fleet to avoid the Imperial warship so that the fleet's whereabouts would not be discovered.
This cruiser of the Empire is just a small sesame seed, and it is not a wise move to throw away a large watermelon for the sake of a sesame seed.
"Yes, Captain."
Ships on both sides went through a period from far to near. The process is similar from near to far. The only difference is that every move of the Imperial cruiser is under the watchful eye of the Confederate keyhole warning and control aircraft, while the Imperial battleship. Until they left the range of the sensor array of the keyhole, they still didn't know that they had passed by a powerful enemy fleet, in fact, they almost walked back before the ghost gate, if it weren't for the fear that the whereabouts of the fleet might be exposed, with the combat capability of the fifth independent mobile fleet, it would not take many minutes to clean up this cruiser.
After the Imperial cruiser left, the Allied fleet immediately changed course, and the new course pointed directly to the direction where the Imperial cruiser came.
“...... Let's start here," Risen moved his finger slowly forward on the screen, "In order to avoid the Empire discovering us, during the reconnaissance operation, I would like to send out only the Phantom to search this star field in front of the fleet......"
"Don't send out a lightning scout type or keyhole, just a phantom? Captain, we have a limited number of phantoms, and the sensors on the phantoms have average "sexuality", how much range can they cover? Not to mention, it's easy to slip through the cracks during your search. A squadron leader questioned.
"Don't use the lightning reconnaissance type or keyhole, that's because the empire may find them, these models don't have the stealth "sex" ability of the phantom, when they find the enemy, maybe they will also be discovered by the enemy, especially when the empire has the super banshee reconnaissance type and keyhole, we don't know what awaits us ahead, so it's better to be cautious, after all, the empire's search for us is still continuing, and several imperial fleets are racking their brains to find us, at present, The 11th Fleet, which owns the two space carriers Reich and Frenov, is close to Bühler~|, so we have to be careful in our actions. Risen explained.
"As for the problem of reconnaissance omissions," he gestured to Sonia, "Lieutenant Commander Yang has proposed a plan to adopt a trumpet search mode, in the main direction of the fleet, the five Phantoms will first use the coverage of the sensors as the benchmark, form a close space, and line up to search forward in a pentagon, which can ensure that in front of the most dangerous and most likely to detect the situation, there will be no possible omissions, in ensure."
When it is safe within a certain range, the search team will gradually open up the formation, encircle, and after reaching the search boundary, it will converge and turn back to the central axis, and in the process of returning to the fleet, it will again face the fleet in front of it," his hand drew a circle in the red "color" area on the screen, "to conduct another reconnaissance, double insurance ......"
"Since there are only five Phantoms, we can divide them into three rotation groups, the first team is led by me, and after completing the first wave of search missions, the substitution is not replaced. Lieutenant Colonel Young led the second group to continue, and Schneier was in charge of the third group......"
“...... You are all squadron leaders, that's why you were selected to carry out this mission, I need the most experienced, the most calm, composed, and attentive people, but I also want to add that this time I went out not to fight, so the last thing I want to see is to show your air combat skills, whether active or forced, understand? ”
"Yes, Captain."
"Okay, let's get ready, we'll see you in the hangar in fifteen minutes."
------------------------------------------------------
In the roaring and noisy hangar of the Archangel, several black Phantom stealth starfighters were ready to go out, Risen held a combat helmet in one hand, walked under the leading Phantom, and with one hand, he climbed the gangway and climbed up to the cockpit with a few rubs, his feet cushioned on the seat, and the person had entered the cockpit of the Phantom.
While putting on the helmet and skillfully making the final preparations before takeoff, the transparent canopy slowly fell, completely isolating him from the outside world, the noise disappeared, and the cockpit suddenly became eerily quiet, only the roaring ion engine of other phantoms could still be faintly heard.
After checking all the systems, especially after confirming that the communication system was normal, he activated the phantom's energy reactor, the phantom seemed to be a giant who had awakened from a slumber, the loud noise of the three ion engines overwhelmed everything else, the light blue "color" tail flame loomed in the tail of the fighter, and the voice of the guide came from the helmet, Risen looked to the left front through the cockpit cover, a ground guide held up the red "color" indicator signal in one hand and waved it to him, Ressen reacted, he nodded, Thumbs up and made a gesture, and then began to "" the fighter to follow, the fighter moved forward, at first very slowly, then gradually accelerated and slowly turned, towards the rear entrance of the "shooting" passage......

"This is Tulip One, Risson. Colonel Nigaul, the Archangel, asked to be dispatched. He tightened his seat belt and reported loudly.
"Ruisen, we don't know where the empire is, there may be nothing in front of you, but we can't rule out the possibility of encountering the imperial army at any time, be careful." Yao "plugged in" and explained again.
"Yes," Risen smiled slightly, "Stealth Flight, can I go?." ”
"Tulip One, you're ready to take off." As the girl nodded, the controller spoke out loud.
"Understood."
In just an instant, his phantom had already detached from the Archangel, he gently retracted the "" longitudinal rod, and the nose of the fighter was slightly raised, avoiding the cruiser Bold in the distance in front of the Archangel, and when Ryson's phantom crossed the Audacious, he already had a few more companions around him, and the other Phantom fighters followed.
"None of you are newcomers, and you shouldn't need to be so verbose," he opened the communication, "but because of the important 'nature' of the mission, I still want to emphasize it again, because the number of phantoms is not enough, so this reconnaissance mission is a single-plane mission, without any wingman accompaniment, in any situation, you must rely on yourself, no one will come to save you, so, the most critical point is not to 'expose', you must keep your eyes open, keep an eye on the surrounding environment, pay attention to the sensor screen, If you find anything suspicious, don't rush to find out as soon as possible, your first requirement is to return to report as soon as possible, and use your communication device carefully, although it can send the news back at the first time, but the enemy may also detect your presence and know that our fleet is already nearby, we hope that the Empire will know about our existence as soon as possible, understand? ”
"Understood." A few voices replied simply, these people were carefully selected veterans, calm and steady, and they knew Risen well and carried out Risen well.
"Let's do it, good luck everyone, and we'll see you when we meet."
"Yes, Captain."
Several Mirage fighters gradually spread out in five directions, disappearing into the darkness, the shadow force field preventing them from seeing their teammates on the sensors, but as long as they can fly strictly and precisely according to the navigation points set on each plane, Risen is confident that there will be no problem.
