Chapter 1291 Meteor airborne, storm landing battle (5)
Apart from anything else, ever since Li Chengqi thought of stuffing model backpacks to enhance the combat capabilities of the Lionfish and Manta, he quickly became a VIP member of several model stores. The only requirement is that the goods are good enough, and money? Money is no problem, just customize it for me.
Such large orders are generally rare, but Li Chengqi is still placing orders. Now he has made some requests, and the model shop certainly has no complaints.
The father of Party A who gives money and is generous is the real father.
Originally, Li Chengqi thought that people in the model shop would install two slender robotic arms on the backpack. When opened, the lionfish looked like a spider.
It turned out that Li Chengqi's imagination was too weak and he underestimated the model store's determination to retain big customers.
These two arm-shaped line cannons can be used as arms by themselves, and can operate recoilless energy weapons or low-recoil rocket launchers, but not machine cannons, and those things can't withstand it.
But it’s not necessary.
The Lionfish's output capability now exceeds that of a battle cruiser without the use of anti-ship weapons. It also has four times the speed of ordinary space fighters and the ability to turn at sharp angles. Coupled with Li Chengqi's long-term experience in flight simulation games, The numerical advantage of the Red Maple Republic's aircraft fleet is not reflected at all.
However, there are too many, and it is impossible for Li Chengqi to clean them up in a short time without a missile cabin.
But at this time, Li Chengqi glanced at the radar screen and saw that friendly forces finally arrived.
It wasn't that the friendly forces were deliberately trying to slow down the foreign workers, but that they simply couldn't keep up with the speed of the lionfish. Li Chengqi had already fought two rounds before they arrived.
There is no particular advantage or disadvantage between the two sides in terms of the number of fleets, but many of the pilots in the friendly fleets are pilots who participated in the last battle between fleets and fleets.
Flying a plane is just like driving a car. You are a skilled worker. No matter how solid you memorize the basic theory, it is not as good as practicing it yourself and flying for hundreds of hours.
The experience of the last war was digested and absorbed by this group of pilots, which made it obvious that the fighters of the Spinning Water Federation had a higher technical and tactical level.
In addition, Li Chengqi was still jumping up and down in the fleet. Less than ten minutes after the two sides formally contacted and started fighting, it was obvious that the Red Maple Republic's fighter planes were somewhat unable to withstand it.
The second wave of aircraft from both sides also arrived at this time. It's one thing if they can't withstand it, but they can still withstand it for a while.

As the battle continued, Alyssa picked up a bag of mineral water and inhaled it.
When the captain was directing the battle, it seemed that he just sat on the captain's seat, verbally issued a few orders, and at most occasionally operated on the screen. It seemed to be a very leisurely occupation.
But this is a completely wrong idea. The captain needs to maintain accurate judgment of the situation at all times, and every order must be conveyed to the crew as accurately as possible.
Small-scale encounters are okay, but in large-scale scenes like this, it is normal to fight for more than ten hours or even several days.
By the way, everyone on the bridge, including Alyssa, is now wearing diapers under protective clothing and has been prepared for a protracted war from the beginning.
"Li Chengqi and Hall sent a return signal."
"Have the mechanic team on standby to deal with mechanical and supply issues as soon as possible."
An hour had passed since the first shot was fired, and Li Chengqi and Hall had come back for supplies for the second time.
The pilots of the Red Maple Republic were very tenacious. Li Chengqi tried to rush over several times but was pushed back by the huge number of aircraft.
Being unparalleled does not mean that you are invincible. No matter how powerful a space fighter is, it can only affect the outcome of a region. It is a drop in the bucket for the entire battlefield and even the entire campaign.
"Main gun overheated."
"Emergency cooling."
Alyssa stuffed the empty bag into the suction trash can next to her seat. Through the bridge, she could see that the Swan's main lance gun had retracted into the ram angle, and the cooling system was running at full capacity. This scene has gone on many times. The continuous bombardment puts the cannons on the battleships at high load. There are many cannons on large battleships, which can be rotated to cool down to ensure firepower output. The Swan only has two secondary guns and one main gun. Cannons, no need to rotate.
After sending the information about the cooling of the artillery to the fleet commander, Alyssa looked at the fleet of the Red Maple Republic in the distance.
The formation on the opposite side is mainly composed of cruisers and mobile aircraft carriers. The situation is not much better than that of the Xuanshui Federation. The technical strength of both sides is similar.
As for the main fleet, it is even more impossible to determine the winner in a short time.
The main fleet is all composed of thick-skinned ships with numerous turrets, and they use formations to take turns to resist damage. Unless they are unlucky enough to be focused on, it will be difficult to sink a certain warship.
As of now, the total number of battleships lost by both sides is probably less than twenty. This battle is likely to last for several days.
The only place where they can be considered to have an advantage is that the space fighters are slowly pressing towards the enemy's mobile aircraft carrier and cruiser formations.
Although it is still a stalemate, there is some progress.
"Torpedo approaching!"
"The shield has the highest energy. The anti-aircraft gunner will shoot down the approaching torpedoes!"
These torpedoes may have been thrown by the opposing fleet, or they may have been thrown by space fighters.
Void torpedoes can continue to fly for ten hours before self-destructing. They fly slowly but have an extremely long range. They also have no engine light. Even anti-air radars may not be able to detect them 100%. In most cases, they need to rely on the sight of the anti-aircraft gunner for air defense.
A torpedo exploded on the front of the Swan and was immediately blocked by the shield. Then the Swan turned into a hedgehog in an instant, and anti-aircraft guns opened fire.
By the way, although the Swan stayed in the fleet, the ships were not in a close proximity to each other. They would leave a safe distance so that the anti-aircraft guns would not hit their teammates.
In fact, the same is true for the main fleet. It looks densely packed, but in fact everyone keeps a safe distance. Coupled with the number of more than 3,500 warships, commanding it is not an easy task.
Anyway, Alyssa felt that she couldn’t do it.
Except for one torpedo that hit the shield of the Swan, all the other torpedoes were destroyed by anti-aircraft guns. At this time, Long reported:
"The artillery has been cooled down."
"Fire freely at the target I set."
"Li Chengqi and Hall have completed their supplies and have launched another attack."
"Tell Li Chengqi to try to eliminate the enemy's active forces and don't just focus on attacking the fleet."
Although Alyssa said this, whether Li Chengqi listened was another matter. Anyway, it was rare for him to be obedient.
Leaning on the captain's seat, Alyssa turned back and glanced at Shadow Tiger.
Everyone was very nervous before the battle started. Even Alyssa couldn't help but her hands were shaking. But Shadow Tiger was sitting on a fragile light cruiser, but he didn't have any uneasiness. He kept sitting back and watching. Look at your mind through your nose and nose, and it will look like you are asleep.
As expected of an agent, this psychological quality is really awesome.
"High-energy reaction detected...it's the Red Maple Republic's reactor jammer!"
"Are there any more?"
Alyssa immediately turned her attention back. Through the bridge, she could see a white light wave erupting in the distance and quickly sweeping across all ships including the Swan.
