1030 Prologue to Air Combat
The communication was not smooth, and the strong second fleet refused Gao Kai on the grounds that he had not received an order from his superiors, and only agreed to cooperate with the operation of the strong fleet.
Gao Kai ordered the Nanzhou to speed up the pursuit, and at the same time, the strong second fleet fulfilled its commitment to cooperate with the operation, and the human fleets in the remaining three directions began to accelerate the pursuit at the same time, putting on the appearance of being fast except for the giant ship.
However, except for the Nanzhou ship group that really caught up, the speed of the other directions was deliberately controlled, giving the aliens an illusion that they were powerless.
Killing a giant ship is a deterrent, but to kill all the giant ships is to force the aliens to fight hard!
Ye Han didn't understand the twists and turns here, let alone that the aliens understood the political language here, his only idea was to kill all the aliens, kill them, kill them!
But after putting aside his military rank and rank, he is just a soldier who doesn't know anything except fighting, not those thoughtful high-level officials in the Northern Capital.
The Nanzhou gave an order, and the group of ships that were waiting for the battle advanced at full speed, quickly approaching the giant ship in front, and all kinds of data from both sides of the enemy and us were summarized in front of Gao Kai for the first time, providing first-hand information for the next operation.
"Report!" The combat staff officer suddenly shouted, "The enemy ship is accelerating, the speed is 72 per second, and the distance is 1240!" β
β72οΌβ Gao Kai wondered if he had heard the difference, not long ago, the speed of the enemy ship was still 70 kilometers per second, why did it become 72 in a blink of an eye?
"Yes, it's still accelerating, it's going to be 73 soon."
Gao Kai frowned: "Let's be a devil, order the 17th Regiment to attack immediately!" β
"Yes!" Countless voices spoke in unison, and the Nanzhou immediately sounded the battle alarm, and the pilots who received the order quickly rushed to the remote control cabin, turned on the equipment and their respective fighters, and the hangar on the side of the ship's belly automatically opened, revealing rows of heavy fighters fixed in the hangar.
"The first squadron of the second brigade is ready, please take off!"
"The first brigade and the second squadron are ready, please take off!"
"A large group and a squadron are ready, and they request to take off ......"
The prepared signals were quickly summarized to the air bridge, and the commander replied separately, and the pilot who received the take-off order immediately unlocked the fighter - the commander was originally a special name in manned spaceflight, and due to the special nature of the space fleet, this position was retained in the space carrier, responsible for directing the operations of carrier-based aircraft.
The heavy fighters hanging in the engine room ejected the cabin like missiles, and two slender tail flames immediately appeared behind the butt of the fighters out of the cabin, don't look at these two tail flames inconspicuous, but they immediately stabilized the attitude of the fighters, and after a while, the 36 fighters were lined up in squadrons into nine four-plane formations, and then all the fighters chased the giant ship with full horsepower.
It took only 17 seconds to reach the departure of all the fighters of the 17th Regiment from the order, and an average of two fighters were released in one second.
The 17th Regiment is subordinate to the Ninth Air Aviation Division and is equipped with 36 air-6 remote-controlled unmanned fighters, which are equipped with two chemical-fuel engines, which have poor endurance but very high acceleration, and are most suitable for pursuit and interception.
Although the pilots were all sitting in the remote control cabin of the Nanzhou, the panoramic remote control cabin made all the pilots immersive, and the attacking air force was determined to win the enemy's giant ship.
The giant ship in front continued to accelerate, and it seemed that it did not notice the human fighters chasing after it, and the distance between the two sides continued to shrink, and it didn't take long for the distance to drop to within a thousand kilometers.
At this time, something icy white suddenly floated out of the giant ship, and the main screen of the Nanzhou kept following the giant ship, and immediately saw that it was dozens of small ice-white flying machines.
Chief of Staff Lu Zuo was taken aback: "What's the matter?" Aliens also have fighter jets? β
Ling Yu said in a low voice, "I'm not surprised at all. β
"It's not unexpected." Gao Kai agreed, "This is not the first time that aliens have imitated. β
When the First Fleet went on an expedition to Jupiter, the alien battleships were still very immature, and later they had more contact with humans, and the aliens first increased the firepower of the battleship a lot, and then installed imitation naval guns, and now it is not surprising that they continue to imitate the space carrier.
Lu Zuo asked worriedly: "Commander, can the 17th Regiment do it?" β
Gao Kai thought for a while and said: "Order the 17th Regiment to take the initiative to lean up and drag the enemy; Ordered the 18th Regiment to attack immediately, and the flanks made a detour to bombard the giant ship to me first. β
"Yes!" Lu Zuo agreed, and immediately lowered his voice and persuaded, "Commander, do you want the Thirteenth Division to also send out a regiment?" β
There are two aviation divisions on the Nanzhou, namely the 9th Air Aviation Division and the 13th Air Aviation Division, the former has the 15th, 17th and 18th Air Aviation Regiments; The latter has the 16th, 22nd and 27th regiments of air aviation.
Among them, the 15th and 16th regiments are equipped with manned Kong-5 heavy fighters, and the remaining four regiments are equipped with Kong-6 remote-controlled fighters.
Gao Kai frowned slightly: "Then let the 22nd regiment go up and execute it." β
"Yes!" Lu Zuo hurriedly conveyed the order, and the 22nd regiment that received the order immediately set off.
Immediately after the departure of the 22nd regiment, they divided into two groups and pursued the giant ship from the left and right directions.
At this time, the alien fighters had already entered the effective range of the 17th Regiment, and the 36 fighters belonging to the 17th Regiment quickly assigned targets and kicked off the battle with long-range missiles.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was still more than 700 kilometers.
The alien fighter moved forward in silence, until the missile group was only more than 200 kilometers away from the alien fighter before it suddenly opened fire, and one after another flying beams crossed the void, and the speeding missiles were immediately hit by the beams.
A voice echoed over the radio: "Two hundred and twenty kilometers, their range is two hundred and twenty kilometers-"
"Missiles, missiles, don't stopβ"
"Fire, beat his grandmotherβ"
The entire 17th Regiment slammed the missiles as if they didn't want money, but in a few seconds they used up all the remaining long-range missiles.
There are 22 hardpoints in the Air Force-6, but each fighter only carries four long-range missiles, and the firepower density is really a bit unspeakable, and no one expects long-range missiles to be able to kill enemy planes, but this is just to find something for enemy planes to do.
Gao Kai, who witnessed this scene, pointed to the screen and said, "Order the fleet to open fire and cover the breakout of the aircraft group!" β
"Yes!"
When the order was issued, the five battleships led by the Nanzhou immediately turned their guns, and more than 20 laser cannons opened fire at the same time.
The distance between the Nanzhou ship group and the alien fighters is still more than 1,000 kilometers, and the laser cannon has no power at all at this distance, and Gao Kai's intention is not to kill how many enemy planes, but to disrupt the order of the enemy army and create conditions for the 17th Regiment to destroy the enemy.
At this moment, everyone's hearts are hanging in the air.
Although the 17th Regiment is equipped with unmanned fighters, even if it is shot down by the enemy, there will be no pilot casualties, but no one has ever dealt with alien fighters, and no one knows the combat capabilities of alien fighters, how can they not sweat for the 17th Regiment in front?
