Chapter 1354 Cutting off the retreat, Irsha’s defensive operations (12)
The burning battle cruiser is being attracted by the weak gravity of the cosmic fortress Irsha and slowly falling towards the surface.
This almost fifty-meter-long ship, specially used for aerial fire support, was broken into three sections by a high-temperature ion beam. While falling, the unbroken cables also melted in the high temperature and fell into fragments of different sizes. .
The two engine lights passed under the wreckage quickly, and would have collided head-on if it had been any slower.
However, the space fighter behind him did not dare to follow. He immediately pulled up the control stick and tried to fly over the wreckage from above.
Almost the moment their sight was blocked by the wreckage, the three space fighters had just pulled up when they saw a series of light green beams and 40mm tracer bullets mixed in, hitting them head-on.
Two of them were blown up on the spot, and a following fighter plane panicked and hit the tail of the wreckage while turning to avoid it. The entire space fighter plane instantly turned into fireworks.
“The number still hasn’t decreased, what is Alyssa doing?”
Although Li Chengqi likes to play space battles, now it feels like he is playing endless AI, and it has almost become a repetitive action.
Hearing Li Chengqi's complaint, Hall said: "It won't show up so quickly. Even if the aircraft carrier is lost, these space fighters will not disappear immediately."
This is indeed true, but every time you look up, you will see a large number of space fighters and magic mechas fighting with friendly forces, which still gives people a feeling that the fight is endless.
At this time, Hall's communicator beeped twice. She was checking the message and said slightly:
"Friendly forces sent a request for support. The enemy armored transport ship blocked an ejection port, and the infantry was fighting fiercely."
"Let's go and have a look."
After fighting for several hours, Li Chengqi was really tired of "turkey hunting" and he needed new stimulation.
"The coordinates are not far away, come with me."
Silver Tornado turned around first and changed the magazine. Li Chengqi followed closely behind, pointing to the crashed location of the battle patrol boat to the infantrymen who were looking around, indicating that there might be pilots ejecting and parachuting there.
The location where the distress signal was sent was indeed not far away. The two of them flew along the slightly curved surface of the cosmic fortress Irsha. In less than five minutes, they reached the edge of Irsha. Looking down at this time, they saw a light green film on the In the bright area of the airlock, three armored transport ships were docked there, and the flashes of guns could be seen from time to time.
The armored transport was larger than a battlecruiser but smaller than an assault landing ship, and could transport more than eight hundred people and their weapons and equipment.
The two of them immediately adjusted their postures, changing from flying horizontally to flying vertically downward.
Approaching the ejection port, you can almost clearly see the soldiers of the Maple Republic using bunkers to shoot at the Spinning Water Federation soldiers inside.
Generally speaking, only ground crew are working near the ejection window, and only a small number of soldiers are guarding it. With automatic turrets, it is indeed a bit overwhelming to face the suppression of soldiers by three armored transport ships.
"Destroy the shield of the nearest ship."
On the way down, Hall heard the words and immediately grabbed the rapid-fire cannon and pulled the trigger directly above the increasingly larger armored transport ship.
The blue shield immediately appeared, and the thin-shelled high-explosive shells fired by the 40mm rapid-fire cannon exploded layer after layer of dense fragments on the shield.
It is estimated that the armored transport ship also discovered Hall and Li Chengqi who fell from the sky. The three ships began to maneuver and try to escape.
The armored transport ship has a small number of anti-aircraft guns arranged on both sides. This thing is a typical personnel carrier, not a front-line combat vehicle.
A batch of 40mm cannons could not completely penetrate the shield of the armored transport ship. When the magazine of the rapid-fire cannon was empty, Hall immediately grabbed the 380mm Giant rocket launcher given to her by Li Chengqi, and the cone-charged armor-piercing projectile immediately hit the target. .
The charge of the large-caliber rocket extended-range grenade is much larger than that of the 40mm thin-cased high-explosive bomb. A huge fireball immediately rose from the top of the armored transport ship that was hit.
When Hall opened fire, Li Chengqi, who was deliberately one step behind, raised the beam rocket launcher and connected its tail with the runner mechanism extending from the backpack. As the runner mechanism rotated into place, Li Chengqi pulled the trigger.
The beam rocket launcher fired several light green particle beams, which just passed through the flames and hit the top of the armored transport ship. The high temperature melted the thick armor and penetrated it from directly above.
The armored transport ship originally planned to escape by maneuver, but it was severely damaged and seemed unable to control its posture. The driver was swaying as if he was drunk.
The two of them did not continue to hit the target, but flew past the armored transport ship, then made a U-turn and aimed at another armored transport ship from below.
Hall replaced the magazine with another magazine and repeated his old trick, quickly weakening and destroying the shield. Li Chengqi then fatally struck it with an ion beam. The second armored transport ship was even worse. When it was hit from below, it hit the energy pipeline. It immediately fell into an uncontrollable fire. Many soldiers wearing protective suits jumped directly into the void from the hatch at the stern to avoid the explosion. and flames.
The two wanted to chase the last armored transport ship, but this guy ran very fast. When the two of them turned around, they had already entered a state of acceleration.
It is indeed possible to catch up, but there is still a mess to clean up.
Li Chengqi simply ignored the escaping armored transport ships, switched ammunition again, and pulled the trigger on the two severely damaged armored transport ships.
A rocket was accelerated by the electromagnetic orbit and then shot out, flying a short distance before exploding. Countless high-speed steel balls smashed through like shotguns.
The soldiers who jumped out of the armored transport ship were blessed. They were sieved by diffusion rockets almost instantly, and the armored transport ship itself began to burst into flames and explode.
Li Chengqi relied on the machine's special ability to resist heat radiation and passed directly through the flames. At this time, he was standing outside the ejection window. If he looked carefully, he could even see the Red Maple Republic soldiers blocking the window fleeing in panic.
But Li Chengqi would not give them a chance to escape.
The Beam Balkan Cannon was activated, and as the head turned slightly, a wave of bullets rained down.
The Beam Balkan Cannon is used for anti-air defense and as an auxiliary weapon. It is not very powerful, but remember that any anti-air weapon used to hit people will be extremely effective.
Inside the ejection port, the soldiers of the Xuanshui Federation seemed to be cheering, but Li Chengqi couldn't hear the sound, but saw that their actions seemed to be celebrating.
"Are you going to pursue the escaped armored transport?"
"I'll go after him."
Li Chengqi said:
"You probably don't have much ammunition anymore, so you can replenish it here."
Physical ammunition is so inconvenient, you have to go back and reload after a while.
"Okay, by the way, I just received another request for help. I sent you the coordinates. You should be on your way."
Hall didn't force it, after all, Silver Tornado really needed supplies again.
Li Chengqi glanced at the roughly highlighted coordinates on the mini-map, waved his hand to Hall and then pushed the accelerator. The aircraft quickly passed through the burning wreckage and chased the escaping armored transport ship.
The speed of the armored transport ship is not very fast. It is a low-cost transport vehicle with usable performance.
Li Chengqi didn't even need to go at full speed to catch up with it.
Aiming from the rear, the beam Balkan cannon and beam rocket launcher fired in unison, destroying its shield in less than twenty seconds, and it took another ten seconds to completely paralyze the opponent's mobility. Now it was just watching this thing catch fire on its own.
Li Chengqi was not in a hurry to finish the attack, wanting to see if the people inside would jump out, but he glanced at the small map and found that the coordinates sent by Hall were above him.
Looking up, there were three three-plane formations with a total of nine space fighters flying over, and they were friendly forces. But for some reason, these three three-plane formations looked a little panicked.
The next moment, Li Chengqi saw a beige ion beam lighting up in the dark void background. Two of the three fighter planes in the formation were pierced through the candied haws and exploded on the spot.
Opening the friendly channel, someone's panicked voice immediately popped up:
"Please help, please help! We have encountered the enemy's ace force! Please help, please help! We can't... ah!"
With an orange flash, the communication stopped abruptly.
Ace unit?
How many trump cards are there?
Li Chengqi suddenly became interested.
